I use kernel 2.4.x. My requirement is to do port forwarding to a remote host AND to process these packets locally.
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.

I don't know a possibility to copy packets (with iptables). Therefore I said: 'Forget it'.

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 aga> I use kernel 2.4.x.
