You can get a similar effect using the "redirect" feature of xinetd.
The intermediate machine still has to relay the packets to and fro but
it's transparent as long as the server doesn't do a getpeername() call.
You can stick an "only_from" parameter in as well to restrict who can
connect to the port.
