[Sussex] IPTables - is this possible?

Hi all,

For reasons I won't go into at the moment, I'm exploring the  
possibilities of the following:

- All traffic for a given web address hits a given port.
- IPTables examines the data and then forwards it to a different port  
depending on the packet type.

As an example:

All traffic is routed from a given client to a specified firewall via  
a local proxy.

The firewall will only accept connections on port 443 (secure HTTP).

The traffic being sent varies between https and ssh - https is  
redirected to an internal webserver running mod_ssl, ssh is redirected  
to a different shell server running ssh (surprisingly!).


Can anyone advise if this is possible?

M.
