Pivoting vs port forwarding

[hdm at metasploit.com (H D Moore)]

Use the "route" command from the msfconsole shell (background the 
meterpreter session with ^Z or /detach). The route command will cause all 
outgoing TCP socket operations to the specified destination network to 
get pivoted through the meterpreter session.
