Number 3 above is wrong because it say linuxbox:5901 and not
localhost:5901 (linuxbox:5901 it will use the eth0 net - whichever its
IP is, and not the l0 net - the loopback net, always 127.0.0.1).
I mean you're ssh line should be like:
ssh -L 5902:localhost:5901 -l linux.dns.name
The "localhost" above must be used LITERALLY !!!!

No need AT ALL.

No. This wouldn't work either because it still uses the eth0 IP.

How can I say it more clearly ? You must use "localhost" or the IP
address "127.0.0.01 " LITERALLY, you can not use the machine name.
Ehud.
