It is actually to provide people https access as usual. However - if require - be able to setup a SSL_Based OpenVPN or SSH-Tunnel through port 443 in case it's required. For HTTPS and SSH there is already a solution. Working smooth - however it requires a daemon running on the firewall server I would like not to run in. So the trick is simple - depending on what connection type comes in - forward the traffic to either IP. The Perl-script I have actually opens 2 network sockets - one to a Web-Server, the other to the SSH-Server. Depending on the type of connection - it will forward to one or the other server. However - I'll have a waiting period of up to 2 seconds - to have the connection setup - as the system first awaits the response of the remote SSH-Server if it exists. If not, then open the connection to the HTTPS Server.
I thought it might be possible to do that using the packet-filters and checking for some specifics in the connections data to decide upon were to send the requested connection to. It would be great to have such a feature - would ease many setups, and give us poor travelers the possility to do back-homing in case companys limit their entire network infrastructure etc. to their secure policies ... Was just a try ;) I'm used to get things working under Linux. That's why I ask these questions. And if it's Important enough for me - I try to implement. But my knowledge is limited to bash/perl/php...
