Gene, i dont think this is possible. There may be some tricks you can do with ipchains to forward packets from one port to another IP/port and get the job done, but it would probably be a kludge. You could also do this on your cisco, kinda like redirecting all traffic through the router to a squid

DNS was misconfigured from the start, causing dial-up clients to use a SMTP/POP3 hostname of "domain.com" instead of "mail.domain.com". We need "domain.com" to resolve to the NT web server for "http://domain.com"
