Python port forwarding/multiplexing server

Question

I would like to make server that listen on UDP port 162 (SNMP trap) and then forwards this traffic to multiple clients. Also important is that the source port & address stay

The accepted answer didn't work for me and I end up using A simple TCP redirector in python :

#!/usr/bin/env python

import socket
import threading
import select
import sys

terminateAll = False

class ClientThread(threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self, clientSocket, targetHost, targetPort):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)
        self.__clientSocket = clientSocket
        self.__targetHost = targetHost
        self.__targetPort = targetPort

    def run(self):
        print "Client Thread started"

        self.__clientSocket.setblocking(0)

        targetHostSocket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        targetHostSocket.connect((self.__targetHost, self.__targetPort))
        targetHostSocket.setblocking(0)

        clientData = ""
        targetHostData = ""
        terminate = False
        while not terminate and not terminateAll:
            inputs = [self.__clientSocket, targetHostSocket]
            outputs = []

            if len(clientData) > 0:
                outputs.append(self.__clientSocket)

            if len(targetHostData) > 0:
                outputs.append(targetHostSocket)

            try:
                inputsReady, outputsReady, errorsReady = select.select(inputs, outputs, [], 1.0)
            except Exception, e:
                print e
                break

            for inp in inputsReady:

        self.__clientSocket.close()
        targetHostSocket.close()
        print "ClienThread terminating"
