Is it possible to redirect outgoing traffic on an already used port without using iptables?

I am wondering is there is another solution than iptables to redirect outgoing traffic on a port that is already used to another one, on the same machine locally.

Thanks.

A Webserver can use one port to serve multiple destinations. but what do you want to solve?

On a Linux computer only locally, I want to redirect request that goes to a certain (used) port to a proxy port, and this proxy will then let the request go to its first destination port. I succeed to do it with iptables, but I was wondering if there is another solution, potentially without sudo privilege but I guess it's not possible.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
