   socat -d -d -lmlocal2 \
   TCP4-LISTEN:80,bind=3Dmyaddr1,su=3Dnobody,fork,range=3D10.0.0.0/8,reuseaddr=
    \
   TCP4:www.domain.org:80,bind=3Dmyaddr2

       TCP port forwarder, each side bound to another local IP address
       (bind). This example handles an almost arbitrary number of parallel
       or consecutive connections by fork'ing a new process after each
       accept()...=20

   So *that* is what socat does that netcat doesn't. Nice.

Aha!!!!  OK.  

That's a load off my mind; I was trying to come up with a
good way to put CONNECT into CRM114 and not have an abomination;
this saves me a ton of thinking.

So, new canonical answer: "Look up 'socat'".  

Thanks!
