Sorry, that was poorly phrased. I mean I'd like a an alias or nickname
by which to refer to otherwise rather unreadable ip address/port
combinations.

~/.ssh/config provides an example:

Host test
        Port 4500
        IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_test
        HostName 216.34.181.45
        LocalForward 5222 localhost:5222

This server can be accessed by simply executing 'ssh test'.
