Re: tcpip-forward requests and bind addresses

Hi,

I appreciate the quick reviews and suggestions.  If I don't hear any
disagreement on this proposal within ~24 hours, I'll use it and submit
the updated IDs to the repository.

   The 'address to bind' and 'port number to bind' specify the IP address
   or domain name and port to which the socket to be listened is bound.
   Some strings used for the 'address to bind' have special-case
   semantics.

       "" means that connections are to be accepted on all protocol
       families supported by the SSH implementation.

       "0.0.0.0" means to listen on all IPv4 addresses.

       "::" means to listen on all IPv6 addresses.

       "localhost" means to listen on all protocol families supported by
       the SSH implementation on loopback addresses only, [RFC3330] and
       [RFC3513].

       "127.0.0.1" and "::1" indicate listening on the loopback
       interfaces for IPv4 and IPv6 respectively.

   Note that the client can still filter connections based on information
   passed in the open request.

Thanks,
Chris
