External port forwarding control mechanism

Hi,

I'm looking for the best way to include an external decision mechanism into 
OpenSSH, which allows it to restrict port forwarding only to destination 
ports  which are defined in a special external control file for the 
authenticated session. The authenticated ssh user should only be allowed to 
connect to this dedicated port to tunnel a VNC session through ssh. So the 
server side has to decide if the received client data in the ssh channel 
could be forwarded or not.
Does there already exist a solution for the current OpenSSH version?

Last year I read in a mailing list, that such behavior was included in 
earlier versions of OpenSSH.


Regards,
    Roland
