Have you tried setting your browsers proxy to localhost:8000?
IIRC proxies work by the browser passing the host information in
another http field. The proxy is supposed to get the page based on the
host field and spit it back in the same connection, everyting else
remains the same.

You will only be able to access mydomain.com or whatever your tunnel
is set up for even if you type
http://www.google.com/mydomainpages.html
Your webserver should ignore the host field unless you use apache
named virtual servers or equivelent (they require valid host fields).
