ssh-tunnel

Every once in a while i have to connect to a server where access is highly restricted. Only inbound SSH is allowed by the DMZ firewall - outbound HTTP connections are blocked.

I'm looking for a good way to tunnel web access through my SSH session, so i can install updates and software via yum / apt-get.

What do you do in such a situation?

SSH has the -D <port> SOCKS proxy option. But unfortunately it is one-way only from client to server and there is no reverse option.
