Can't you just use a different port on your router and keep port 80 on
your linux setup?
I do this to trick inbound mail into going via my AV scanner. Like this:
outside client -> gateway:25
gateway:25 -> scanning engine:26 (scanning engine listens on port 26)
scanning engine:26 -> mail server:25
This means that my internal mail clients can just use port 25 instead of
having to go through the virus scaning engine.
In you case, you would just send gateway:8080 -> linux:80.
Hope this helps.
