telnet redirect

Hi All,

I am new to Linux and I have a problem with Telnet on RedHat
9.0. My Linux server has two NIC cards. One interface eth0 is the
external interface and eth1 is the internal interface, hooked to a
lan. I am trying to redirect all the telnet requests coming over my
external network on my linux box to another server on the internal
network. I added the following line

redirect = x.x.x.x (my internal IP)

to the telnet services file in /etc/xinetd.d/. I later restarted the
xinetd service using the command,

service xinetd restart

But for some reason, when ever I telnet to the linux box the telnet
does not get routed to the internal LAN server. It just opens up the
prompt for the external linux server.

Could somebody please help.

THanks

Ajit
