    Hi all,

    I found a feature in PuTTY that I would like to see if it is replicated
    in OpenSSH.

    Within PuTTY, I could forward multiple local ports from different IP
    addresses to different remote hosts.

    Here is an example:

    127.0.0.1:80 forwarded to webserver1:80
    127.0.0.2:80 forwarded to webserver2:80
    127.0.0.3:80 forwarded to webserver3:80

    Using some hacks to the /etc/hosts file, traversing a webapp that spans
    several different webservers is made easier.

    Thanks, 

    --
