I have owned several cheap routers (linksys, smc, dlink, netgear) and
the only one that I have been able to do this "port routing" with was my
old netgear, which I stopped using because it was only a 10Mb, no
wireless, router.  I now use a Linksys router because it has been very
stable and reliable.

Now if I need to do something with duplicate internal ports, I either
change one application to listen on a different port, or I setup a linux
box with iptables, which does the port routing very nicely.
