I want this to work like: ssh -L 5900:microhost:5900 mybsdbox.com <-- but this don't work. I have to do this: ssh -L 5900:10.4.0.189:5900 mybsdbox.com <--this is a pain in ass but does work. Now, host file won't work cuz we use dhcp. I have samba on the box, but that lets the windows computers use computer name of bsd box, not other way around. Any help would be appreciated! Any hints?
