    Hi,

    I want MSN Messenger (on a Win XP machine) to use an SSH tunnel.
    It uses port 1863 for chatting.

    The problem is that it contacts different servers:

    1. Request which login server to use (obviously for load balancing)
    2. Connect to that server to login
    3. Connect to a third server to send and receive messages

    I have configured the "host" file to redirect traffic to those servers
    to 127.0.0.1. My tunnel is running, if I configure it to use the login
    server (from step 2), I can log in (obviously step 1 isn't necessary).
    However, I cannot send any messages since they obviously MUST go to a
    different server.

    Therefore, I thought I could just create to tunnels and bind them to
    different local IP addresses (127.0.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 for example)
    to distinguish the tunnels.

    Does anybody know of a program that could do that?
    As far as I could see neither Putty nor the non-commercial ssh.com
    client support that.

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards,

    Marvin
