Thanks, Yoav. I will try to write something to wrap the request. The streaming back part answers my question about how to handle the response.
I could simply use IIS to redirect the original request, but the server address would be unreachable for the client as only the web server would have a route across the firewall.

Hi, Like HttpServletResponse#sendRedirect? It's not like a forward in that the client URL changes, but it does pass the request to another server. Beyond that, you COULD write something that'd wrap the request, invoke another server to handle it, and stream the response to your own client.
