It is a reverse tunnel, .. the issue is it binds to 127.0.0.1
automatically, however if you need to specify the bind IP, you have to
also enable GatewayPorts on the target machine so it CAN bind to the
specific IP.

This is what works:

ssh -f -n -N -R 172.16.112.101:2205:127.0.0.1:2206 lvl at 172.16.112.101
