This sounds like the sort of functionality now incorporated in ipchains
- I can remember using redir to setup a mailserver behind a masqurading
system using kernel 2.0.X and ipfw.
Unfortunately it still uses the routing table to determine which
interface to send outgoing data on. (This is the real difficulty, but
any program that gets around this is probably in violation of standards
- The TCP/IP stack should be doing the routing, not the application)
