Try looking into IPCHAINS IPPORTFW facility. you'll need
to run a 2.1.103+, or 2.2.* kernel, but it can forward
any port to a different machine on the same or different
port, and do it transparently to the application. I'm not
sure it handles UDP, but I don't see why it couldn't. I use
it for my web server. Take a look at the IPCHAINS HOWTO for
further information, and web sites to check for instructions
on how to use.
There is a bunch of pages at www.rustcorp.com/linux/ipchains/
as well as an email list devoted to IPCHAINS.
