I'm not sure if this is the solution you're looking for, but ssh
supports escape sequences, one of which is ~# - it lists all forwarded
connections. No idea how to parse the output though. I guess you could
also use some combination -L and -R, with rulesets like
if ($local_port=30726){$remote_host=foo;} and so on. I hate to advocate
hardcoding things that should be able to be figured out, but it's a
kludge that may be less headache.
Good luck,
