I am using ssh to tunnel from my "remote server" located at a remote location with a public IP number to my "local server" behind an ISP's firewall using a DSL connection. The ssh connection keeps dropping out. I have KeepAlive "YES" and IdleTime set to 104w (2 years). I have just started having a little script on the remote machine send me the date/time every 30 seconds and that seems to keep it up. Is this behavior normal? Also, I'm having problems sending mail from sendmail on my local machine because the IP gets translated to something that doesn't resolve at the ISP's firewall. This means I can't send to some sites (freebsd-security being one of them!). I've been trying to see a way that I can relay the sendmail feed through my remote server using port redirection. I can't run the sendmail daemon on the remote server because port 25 is already bound to ssh. (I need sendmail to run on the local machine because I'm doing some stuff which requires that).
