Yes. Info from one of my sattelite sites is appended. I don't know about
other systems, but under linux it's amazingly trivial to set up.

Here's an excerpt from the network startup script on that site (this is
all under linux, for reference):
# Block port 80
# Port 80 traffic for any server on our lan can come from anywhere
ipfwadm -I -a accept -D $INTERNETUSERS 80 -P tcp -S $ANY
# Traffic originating from a web server on the lan is fine.
ipfwadm -F -a accept -D $INTERNETUSERS 80 -P tcp -S $ANY
# Stuff requested from the hub web server is okay
ipfwadm -F -a accept -D $HUB 80 -P tcp -S $ANY
ipfwadm -I -a accept -D $HUB 80 -P tcp -S $ANY
# Traffic originated by us is cool too.
ipfwadm -O -a accept -D $ANY 80 -P tcp -S $INTERNETUSERS
# Traffic forwarding through from internal to external is not
ipfwadm -I -a accept -D $ANY 80 -P tcp -S $INTERNETUSERS -r 8080
Note the last line here takes anything that didn't pass the previous
rules and redirects it to port 8080.
So, here's a new entry in /etc/services:
webstopper 8080/tcp
..and a matching entry in inetd.conf (linewrap may treat this poorly):
webstopper stream tcp nowait root
/usr/local/sbin/webstopper /usr/local/sbin/webstopper
And the /usr/local/sbin/webstopper script itself (well, just the start
of it, anyway)
#!/bin/sh
