Question: Is it possible to enable agent forwarding with ssh-pageant when using cygwin?

Hello, the reason I am using cygwin is so I can ssh into my server from my work windows machine. To do that I must use a bastion host. This means I must use agent forwarding.
This works when I use PuTTY, with "Allow agent forwarding" enabled in the Auth properties. I see this working when I type echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK in my bastion server.
This does not work when I am using ssh-pageant in cygwin.
Help/suggestions??

Forwarding is a question of the client. Assuming you're in a shell with the agent configured properly, then ssh -A should forward it.
