What about using Masq instead?
Masq will allow you to make the "internal" machine handle all requests as if
it were the "gateway" or firewall machine.
Basically all requests to http://blah.blah.com:9000 can be directed
"inwards" to the right machine.
This machine will act as a server for the :9000 port, and Masq will reserve
that port number for your purposes.
"Outside" machines see http://blah.blah.com:9000 as if it were the firewall
machine itself. That is they resolve it to the the firewall's IP ONLY.
