Doesn't that actually forward my_workstation:5901 to my_server:5900,
given the sense of "forward" usually used with ssh?

Have you tried 'ssh -L 5901:my_server:5901 my_server'?  That way when
'vncviewer my_workstation:1' tries to connect to port 5901 on
my_workstation it will end up communicating with port 5901 on the
my_server.
