Yeah, that either of those sound like what I'll have to do.

I tried the ssh tunnel, but it didn't seem to have much effect:
ssh -L 80:web2py.mydomain.com:8080 lo...@dreamhost.com
ssh -L 8080:localhost:80 lo...@dreamhost.com
[and various other permutations]
I then tried going to localhost:8080 and got nada

Clearly my shellFu is not up to snuff but I would think one of my
guesses would have worked.

I guess I'll just cripple the security, since it's not exactly a big
deal if my testing site gets hacked anyway.
