Yeah - thats rather different.

You probably *can* do redirect of web traffic to a remote machine using 
policy routing - have a look in the iproute package (part of RH and 
presumably other distributions).  The documentation is such that you 
need a deep knowlege of black magic to effectively use it... and kernel 
config changes.
