This doesn't sound quite right to me. What makes you think this is a
good solution to your problem? (I don't see how having the client come
in one port, and redirected to another IP:port is going to fix anything.
  If the protocol can't be proxied, just bypass the proxy for that
protocol.)

That said, you can use a redirector to alter the outgoing destination
port, I think. But I'm pretty certain you're barking up the wrong tree.
