Imagine the fun you can have with multiple [SSH] forwards!
If you've set up your <tt>.ssh/config</tt> as in the tip above, you can spare yourself typing the same parameters to set up tunnels in the same manner. <tt>-L 5000:localhost:110</tt> translates to <tt>~LocalForward 5000 localhost:110</tt>. If you'd like to have <tt>-g</tt> taken care of as well, add <tt>~GatewayPorts</tt>. <tt>-f</tt> and <tt>-N</tt> don't have corresponding options, but those wouldn't be very useful anyway.

-!! vhost workaround
-
-When trying to connect to an apache server (through a firewall) that has multiple vhosts, you may be able to get the default page apache has been configured to serve, but nothing else.
-On your localhost edit your /etc/hosts file and add the name of the machine you are trying to connect to over the tunnel.
-
-eg. If you were trying to connect to cms-r7-113.cs.waikato.ac.nz
-add the following to /etc/hosts
-
-127.0.0.1 cms-r7-113.cs.waikato.ac.nz
-
-and construct your tunnel thus
-
-ssh -2 -q -f -N -g -L 80:cms-r7-113.cs.waikato.ac.nz:80 <username>@cms-r7-113.cs.waikato.ac.nz
-
-You will now be able to connect to
-<verbatim>
-cms-r7-113.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~username
-</verbatim>
!!! [X] Connection Forwarding
If you use the <tt>-X</tt> option to ssh(1), you will enable [X]-connection forwarding. This is essentially a reverse port forward with a few added effects: for instance it will set your <tt>DISPLAY</tt> EnvironmentVariable on the remote end to something like <tt>localhost:15</tt>. Most of the time you won't need to mess with xhost(1) or xauth(1) either. If you've set up your <tt>.ssh/config</tt> as discussed above, you can spare yourself typing <tt>-X</tt> every time using the <tt>ForwardX11</tt> directive.
