Summary says it all really.

I have..
Host *
  ControlMaster auto
  ControlPath   ~/.ssh/master-%l_%r@%h:%p

in my ~/.ssh/config file so that connections automatically create master connections or use a previously created one on the first connect.

Unfortunately if I want to use -L or -R (or -D I imagine) then I must remember to add "-o ControlMaster=no" otherwise they don't work.
