[KLUG Members] Port forwarding

[Adam Bultman]

Well, the ideal way would to use ipchains.  Since I don't know that by
heart, you could do it the ghetto way.  Create entries for both ports in
/etc/services , and then create inetd.conf entries for both ports, where
the 'program run' would be netcat, which would forward the traffic on to
where it needed to go.

I don't promise it will work, but I did it here for www services before.
