Okay. That makes sense. However, I must have a misconception somewhere as
when I do the ssh dance with -L 80:X:80 it doesn't forward any web traffic.
I'm not sure what it is doing but it's not forwarding (or not tunneling) web
traffic. I know in general you would set up something like port 8080 as the
local port to forward and then set up a socks proxy on port 8080. I was
trying to avoid the socks proxy and just proxy by default all port 80
traffic. It doesn't work - either because it's not designed to or because
I'm doing it wrong. I'm starting to think it's the former.

Thanks for the help,
