Hmm, it is possible, but as to how I can't help, except that what you want
is some documentation on setting up a nat rule, that is, a rule to map a
local ip address to a remote ip address.  Be warned, this is very
dangerous and is not advised unless you know what you are doing, and can
deal with the resulting intrusion attempts on the rest of your internal
network.

It would probably be safer to set up port forwarding, i.e. anything coming
in for say xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 80 goes to port yyy on 192.168.1.zzz.
