Re: Port forwarding to a remote host AND local processing on redhat linux

this kind of thing is solved with Proxy solutions, but there's big questions as to WHY one would attempt this data flow. The connection to the client-server imply atomic processing. IF you need some kind of 'back-end' support, it would normally be an extract or secondary process from the original server. Simple dual-logging would be straight from the proxy.

So again, what are you trying to do?

I tried using iptables for port forwarding. It works. But I can't
process these
packets locally as well i.e. I need to pass these packets to a local
application
for further processing in addition to remote host forwarding.

Any other tips other than using iptables?
Thanks for the help.
