I am on a dynamic IP. I can't put my IP number in pg_hba.conf

I am tunneling through two firewalls to get to the webapp. The webapp is
on an intranet.

I just wanted to be able to use the webapp by port forwarding instead of
tunneling an X session (mozilla running locally is a bit faster than on
the distant machine).

For everything else I use ssh X (pgaccess and psql run just fine that
way)
