[ale] Within-Box Port Forwarding

[Ashley Wilson]

I've not done that with iptables, but I have done it with xinetd.  You may also consider using Apache http server and mod_jk, especially if you will be using SSL.  That way you can let Apache worry about http/https and Tomcat can focus on JSP.  That's what I typically do and it works great for me.

All the docs I'm finding about port forwarding using iptables assumes 
configuring a firewall.  What would the iptables command(s) look like to 
forward inbound port 80 such that Tomcat on the same machine, running on 
port 8080, sees and responds to the traffic?  Would there be two 
commands, one for each direction?
