Perhaps this will help. /usr/ports/net/bounce pkg-descr: A little program to bounce tcp connections to another machine/port. By default it listens on port 1523. /usr/ports/net/rinetd pkg-descr: rinetd redirects TCP connections from one IP address and port to another. rinetd is a single-process server which handles any number of connections to the address/port pairs specified in the file /etc/rinetd.conf. Since rinetd runs as a single process using nonblocking I/O, it is able to redirect a large number of connections without a severe impact on the machine. This makes it practical to run TCP services on machines inside an IP masquerading firewall. rinetd does not redirect FTP, because FTP requires more than one socket. rinetd also supports basic allow/deny access control and logging.
