Because if that allows the kind of on-demand access I've described, I'd be grateful if you could explain how to do it. Or do you mean some other tool to forward one or more local ports to the one local port that ssh is already forwarding to the remote host? (Does that even make sense?) Or something else again? And I may have made an A/B error talking about passing off sockets. Passing sockets is not an objective per se, but rather in my limited understanding I had assumed it was "the" way to achieve the kind of on-demand port forwarding I'm after.
