I think you are talking about simple port forwarding.  To accomplish this you would want to run such a set up on server / router / firewall.

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $INet_Interface -d 10.0.0.3 -p tcp --dport $Port_of_Service -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.3:$Port_of_Service
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $INet_Interface -d 10.0.0.3 -p udp --dport $Port_of_Service -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.3:$Port_of_Service
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $LAN_Interface -d 192.168.1.3 -p tcp --dport $Port_of_Service -j SNAT --to-source $Internal_IP_of_Server
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $LAN_Interface -d 192.168.1.3 -p udp --dport $Port_of_Service -j SNAT --to-source $Internal_IP_of_Server

This will take any TCP or UDP traffic that is coming in to the server to port $Port_of_Service and (port) forward it to 192.168.1.3 where the traffic will be handled as if it were originally destined to the internal system.
