can you run the server on a diffrent port? you could filter incomming 
requests on your server running on the original port and just pass along 
the ones you not interested in to the original server.
this could also be done with two machines, without changing ports.

UPD and TCP protocols have their own numbering you can have a server of 
each family on the same port number.

python is usualy the right choice for anything....
