How do I connect from a MVC3 .net application to a MySQL database through a SSH tunnel

I am building a .net MVC3 application using E开发者_运维知识库ntity Framework 4. One of the databases I would like to connect with has to be accessed through a SSH tunnel. Is there a way to do this through the web.config? If not, what approaches should I consider?

Thanks, Afrieze
