# A Gateway is an object that allows you to tunnel network connections through
# a publicly visible host to a host hidden behind it. This is particularly
# useful when dealing with hosts behind a firewall. One host will generally
# be visible (and accessible) outside the firewall, while the others will all
# be behind the firewall, and the only way to access those restricted hosts
# is by first logging into the publicly visible host, and from thence logging
# into the restricted ones.
#
# This class makes it easy to programmatically connect to these restricted
# hosts via SSH. You can either simply forward a port from the local host to
# the remote host, or you can open a new Net::SSH connection to the remote
# host via a forwarded port.

# Port numbers are allocated automatically, beginning at MAX_PORT and
# decrementing on each request for a new port until MIN_PORT is reached. If
# a port is already in use, this is detected and a different port will be
