ssh actually listens on a whole new socket when you ssh in. If you do a
netstat -an you will see
sockets 6010 (or something around 60xx) which is its X tunnel. When
something connects to that X socket
it is forwarded over the ssh tunnel. Very similar to port tunneling. If
you do the ip:0.0 it will not use the
ssh tunnel and not be secure.
