Squid is a proxy. From your description it is not obvious if what you want is a full HTTP proxy, or just forwarding of the ports directly to the externalhost. It sounds like what you want is just plain forwarding of the ports with no proxying. For port forwarding you can use NAT, a TCP plug or any other port forwarding method. For proxying you can use Squid, but proxying of https requests is rather intrusive and breaks the SSL end-to-end connectivity by decrypting the session and then re-encrypting it again, not sure if this is what you want.
