Agreed. I was expecting a low-fi example to point a dnpipe e.g.

$ mkdnpipe /tmp/a.fifo 192.168.1.10:123

With the target host running a dnpipe daemon.

Of course, one can already do that with socat, the multipurpose relay:

    socat PIPE:myfifo TCP-LISTEN:7766

    socat PIPE:myfifo2 TCP:192.0.2.1:7766

Interesting! Thanks for the tip

socat is great. You can also use OPENSSL-LISTEN and OPENSSL to replace TCP-LISTEN and TCP to get an encrypted SSL connection.
