I think so. It's even more tricky than this, because if you wait for the ACK of the client, the delay may be too long and you will receive retries from the new server. So you need to ack this packet before you forward it, and then drop the real ack received. Also, this needs to be done using raw packets, because you will have to manipulate all the header. So, to make it short, you will have to code an almost complete TCP/IP stack to use in your queue...
