Maybe someone can help me with this, I've been racking my brain and I 
can't see what the problem is here.  I've got a router hooked up to a 
couple computers on a LAN, the router forwards the SSH port to one of 
the computers, the SSH port is opened in the firewall of that computer, 
and a domain name points to the router.  I can SSH to the the domain 
name and it works just fine, doing exactly as I expect.

However, once I try to "tunnel" or "forward" a port like so

ssh -L 1234:domain:1234 -N domain -l user

It prompts me for a password and logs in fine, but I can't get the 
client program to connect with the server (through localhost:1234).  
However, if I am on the local network and do the following

ssh -L 1234:192.168.X.X:1234 -N 192.168.X.X -l user

, which works fine, it logs in and my client program connects (through 
localhost:1234) with the server fine.  So the problem is, from either 
inside or outside the local network, attempting an SSH tunnel with the 
domain name fails.

What am I missing?

Thanks,
