Alejandro, are you wanting to redirect the traffic of someone (or something / some daemon) running locally on the box that will be doing the redirection?  Or are you wanting to redirect the traffic from an internet connected client to a different system?  From what I read of your question the situation is the former.  As such I'm going to answer that question.

iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -d $HostX -p tcp --dport $PortX -j REDIRECT --to-ports $PortY
