I would highly recommend NOT doing it in the config file. If you do,
you will only be about to run one instance of ssh at a time. When
you try to run the second instance while the first is running, it will
fail trying to redirect the port again. It gives some obtuse error
message (that I don't remember) and it took me awhile to figure out
what was going on.
