Here is an example similar to your need:

I always use xinetd for this, it's a piece of cake. The bottom of this article has a nice example of using xinetd for the redirection:

(if you only have one interface, you don't need the bind command)

Here is another article that has some nice info, including how to run a
service out of xinetd chrooted.
