I have owned several cheap routers (linksys, smc, dlink, netgear) and the only one that I have been able to do this "port routing" with was my old netgear, which I stopped using because it was only a 10Mb, no wireless, router. I now use a Linksys router because it has been very stable and reliable. Now if I need to do something with duplicate internal ports, I either change one application to listen on a different port, or I setup a linux box with iptables, which does the port routing very nicely.
