Does anyone know of a method, either with OpenVPN or something within TCP (I'm using TCP rather than UDP for several reasons) itself to redirect a connection to a different IP address.

I know it could probably be done with port forwarding in some clever way, but what I really want is for the front-end to be out of the loop once it has passed the traffic on, rather than just forwarding it to a different server...

Yes, like JonB suggested you can use linux/*bsd to redirect traffic, but that machine will always be "in the loop" as you put it. The only way todo "out of loop" redirecting as I can see it would be using a dynamic DNS server with a TTL value set to 0 that you update with some smart script so it points to the server with the lowest load at the moment.

I was just thinking. Just how many clients do you have such that one server can not handle the load? Or how big a pipe do you have?

A via with hardware encryption is PRETTY fast.
