Pickles: assumptions are correct.  I use the options before the
user at hostpersonally, so I am not sure if they are order sensitive.

I use the following script to forward various ports that I need through the
SSH "tunnel" to the other side, while popping up an xterm SSH window:

#!/bin/bash
# Port for Remote Squid Proxy Access= 3535
# Port for Remote WWW Access= 8008
# Port for Local WWW Access= 80
# Port for Remote VMConsole Access= 904
# -f = go to background
# -N = No remote command
# -C = Compress
# -X = Forward X11
xterm -e \
ssh -2 -C -X\
#-L localPort:Host:RemotePort
# Note that for direct port bind to SSH Server, use localhost, not remote
server name
# All others are implicit Port:Local -> RemoteHost:RemotePort
 -L 3535:localhost:3535 \
 -L 8008:asg1:8008 \
 -L 8001:asg1:80 \
 -L 9004:gsx1:904 \
