Squid is a proxy. From your description it is not obvious if what you
want is a full HTTP proxy, or just forwarding of the ports directly to
the externalhost. It sounds like what you want is just plain forwarding
of the ports with no proxying.

For port forwarding you can use NAT, a TCP plug or any other port
forwarding method.

For proxying you can use Squid, but proxying of https requests is rather
intrusive and breaks the SSL end-to-end connectivity by decrypting the
session and then re-encrypting it again, not sure if this is what you
want.
