well, while we wait on the list server to spit out our mails...here is an
example ~/.ssh/config that kinda shows what one can do...and check your
tcp states while you're at it - all over one session.

# create multiplexed session and a local forward
Host myhost 
        HostName myhost.example.com
        ControlMaster yes
        ControlPath ~/.ssh/myhost-ctrl
        LocalForward 2201 10.1.1.1:22

# ssh to myhost over session
Host myh  
        ControlPath ~/.ssh/myhost-ctrl

# ssh to myhost with X forwarding over the same session
Host m-X
        ControlPath ~/.ssh/myhost-ctrl
        ForwardX11 yes

# ssh to local forward via session
Host m-2201
        ControlPath ~/.ssh/myhost-ctrl
        HostName localhost
        Port 2201

# ssh and create a new local forward
Host m-2202
        ControlPath ~/.ssh/myhost-ctrl
        LocalForward 2202 10.1.1.2:22
