Specifies a local ``dynamic'' application-level port forwarding. This works by allocating a socket to listen to port on the local side, optionally bound to the speci-
fied bind_address. Whenever a connection is made to this port, the connection is forwarded over the secure channel, and the application protocol is then used to deter-
mine where to connect to from the remote machine. Currently the SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 protocols are supported, and ssh will act as a SOCKS server. Only root can forward
privileged ports. Dynamic port forwardings can also be specified in the configuration file.
IPv6 addresses can be specified by enclosing the address in square brackets. Only the superuser can forward privileged ports. By default, the local port is bound in
accordance with the GatewayPorts setting. However, an explicit bind_address may be used to bind the connection to a specific address. The bind_address of
``localhost'' indicates that the listening port be bound for local use only, while an empty address or `*' indicates that the port should be available from all inter-
