The first local-to-remote (-L) mapping looks like a tunnel to an sshd on
the other side, and could be checked with a client ext script to make sure
the sshd is responding (if it's on the Hobbit server, should be testable
with an ssh:2022 on localhost).  The following pair of local and remote
mappings look like a closed loop, and it's not clear to me how it might be
used or tested--tcping perhaps?. Note that the latest versions of ssh/sshd
support the use of a "bind" address in this syntax, so you could do -L
127.0.0.x:2022:127.0.0.1:22, for instance, to differentiate things by ip
on the initiating end.
