Redirecting IP Packets

Does anyone know a nice way of redirecting ip packets ?. For example, on LAN
A, there "was" a mail server, 172.20.20.20. However, this server has been
moved to another remote (but reachable LAN), LAN C, with a new IP Address of
172.40.40.40.

 

The catch is, there are a lot of pop3 requests still going to 172.20.20.20
due to static configured POP IP Addresses (lots of them).

 

I was looking at a way to re-direct the 172.20.20.20 packets onto the remote
LAN C, IP:172.40.40.40.

 

I've looked at static nat on Router A (the LAN A local router) but it
doesn't like the rules as the outside interface is also the inside interface
(technically) as you are translating packets back out of the in interface..

 

Any ideas would be welcomed..
