[SGVLUG] Ssh tunnel host selection

[Doug Vargas]

haha no it's fine, describing network topologies isn't always simple. So 
my home network consists of a cable modem which connects to my wifi 
router and my laptop connects to that, pretty standard. Then I create an 
ssh tunnel from my laptop to my server and send all my traffic through 
it. What I'd like to do is connect to certain hosts, like netflix.com, 
hulu.com, etc, through standard http and not my ssh tunnel on 
port...23445, i think i have it on. Is there any way to do that?
