Hi,
I once saw an example of port forwarding using netcat and inetd, i think it involved
setting up a listening netcat as the application, using inetd to bind it to a specific
port and then forwarding the connection onwards to the ip and/or port where you want
it to go, something like this:
service geofwd
{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/bin/nc
server_args = 192.168.124.38 1005
log_on_failure += USERID
}
not sure if this is what you want :-)

Hello,
MLIf you absolutely need to be in port 80, either setup a simple
MLlightweight apache on port 80 as a reverse proxy (see the mod_perl
MLguide) or, even simpler, do some port forwarding from port 80 to your
MLhigh port of choice.
Has anybody had very good experiences using a simple port forwarder in a
production setup? We had a somewhat bad experience with using portfwd
under Solaris (images and other binary data got randomly corrupted, and we
never got around to figuring out why), and I'm wondering what others use
instead. It seems like the port forwarder involved would also be important
performance wise.
The applications I am typically interested in are forwarding ports on the
same interface (like the port 80 example here) as well as between
interfaces (or between external interfaces and loopback).
Humbly,
Andrew
