If there is no DB/2 instance on the Linux guest, then yes, it's behaving
as it should. What you want to do is forward the DB/2 Connect ports to
the z/OS DB/2 instance, right?
If so, then you want to look at the iptables capability to do port
forwarding, and forward the DB/2 interface ports on the Linux guest to
the same ports on the z/OS guest. If you want to demonstrate that before
you attempt to do iptables black magic, you could use SSH to forward the
ports to demonstrate the technique, and then do the iptables work.

Trying my best to answer your question - but this is uncharted waters
for me.
What you want to do is forward the DB/2 Connect ports to the z/OS DB/2
instance, right?
No I don't think so, because isn't that what DB/2 Connect
provides. Some how I have got to get the DB/2 Connect instance
configured to receive client request and then to forward that onto the
actual database on z/OS.
