This breaks nat firewalls. It is very common occurance to only accept
incoming connections, and only on certain ports. This means any system
of firewill will probably be broken by this. :(
i.e. behind a nat to a public system, the return connection can't be
established. From any system to a nat redirected ssh server, the
incoming connection won't make it to the destination machine.
I think this should just be a utility like Luigi suggested. This will
help "solve" these problems.
