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.
