Yes i think so, but this requires context switching or
at least quite some I/O that is useless.  Some boxes
also do not have nc(1) by default.  And all that just because of
a little name switch (that is impossible without this patch).

ok??  Ok, so how about "-o ProxyLocalhost=PORT"?
Find that attached at your will.
Ciao,
