    >If so, how do you configure your client operating system of choice to

    * Set up the profile, to your house/work/etc, of your favorite SSH
    client to forward port 53 local to port 53 on your remote machine.
    * Make sure your SSH Profile connects to your house/work/etc via IP, not
    name
    * make sure there is some sort of DNS server running on the target of
    your SSH session
    * make sure your SSH server supports forwarded ports
    * connect to your house/work/etc.
    * repoint your local DNS client config to 127.0.0.1
    * browse at will
    * (don't forget to undo this later or risk losing your sanity....)

    Same type of config works great for HTTP (with squid, and browser proxy
    settings) etc..
