I think you missed the point of my original post. I know what protocol
the tunnel is controlling access to - what I sometimes forget is *WHY*
I allowed a given machine access to that port.
Add to this that I'm not always at my desk (or even my office!) when a
configuration change needs to be made, and you'll see how much better
it would be (for me, anyway) if the tunnels were a little more self
documenting.

As much as I would like this feature as well, I have found that it is not
too cumbersome to maintain this information in a text file.
Actually, I now rather like this approach as I can print a much smaller
summary of my configuration rather than the usual many page full detail
report.
A subset of my list looks something like:
Aliases/ports Description Real IP
.10/80,443 WWW 10.0.1.95
Common ports
80 HTTP
119 NNTP
123 NTP
443 SSL
54321 RemotelyWhatever
etc.
The common port list is just a list of the ports that actually exist in my
configuration for those occasions when I can't remember a lessor used port
(or one that I have changed).
Works for me.
