If you want to redirect packets which would normally go somewhere else, so
that they go to machine linux_2 instead, this is either DNAT, or a routing
table question (using something slightly more sophisticated than usual, such
as source-based routing and iproute2).
DNAT will clearly send the packets to linux_2 for you, but then they won't go
any further, because they've reached their destination.

Maybe you should run something like squid there - tell us why you want the
port 80 packets specifically to go via linux_2 rather than any other route
from linux_1 to the Internet....
