Okay. I am the first to admit I am a little slow.

OpenNMS runs on port 8080 (tomcat) and when I ssh into a client's site
where port 22 is the only port open, I do

ssh -L 8080:localhost:8080 [remote server]

and then I point my browser to http://localhost:8080/opennms and it
works like a champ.

How would I use port forwarding to act like a proxy?
