fake outgoing connection to another ip ?? is that possible

Question

simply i have a script which is crypted and compiled , when run to check for a file if exist or not on a remote server which ip is 1.x.x.x problem the server 1.x.x.x is not any more working so iam not able to run the script again , as it must curl for that file on the dead server 1.x.x.x

i want to put the files on a new server with ip 2.x.x.x ,

and my machine has another ip 3.x.x.x where i run the script is that possible to configure my machine where i run the script to connect to ip 2.x.x.x rather than 1.x.x.x

or fake server when script try to connect to 1.x.x.x , the machine redirect connection to 2.x.x.x

thanks

i would like to mention that the both ip are out of my machine , — M.Hossam, Jan 09 '14 at 09:06
You can still use NAT/redirection on the machine where the script is running. — Jenny D, Jan 09 '14 at 09:19

Yes, you can. You wouldn't even need a remote server, simply add that specific IP-address as an alias to your own machine, make that file available on the new interface and bob's you uncle.

# ifconfig lo:1 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.255

# ping 1.2.3.4
PING 1.2.3.4 (1.2.3.4) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 1.2.3.4: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.061 ms
64 bytes from 1.2.3.4: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.022 ms

#  ifconfig lo:1 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.255 down

fake outgoing connection to another ip ?? is that possible
