Hi

If I open an external port on a internet connected box (say 10000 - with no 
internal service listening on that port )  then connect to that box via ssh 
port forwarding (say ssh -N -R 10000:127.0.0.1:10000) I would have thought 
that external connections to the box port 10000 would be tunelled to the 
client via the port forwarding. Is this possible and if so what am I 
missing.


Regards
