You need customizable filter/firewall software to perform a transparent redirect. I'm not aware of any freeware for Windows that does this. I have some code I wrote several years ago that will work on WindowsXP but from what I've read, it will not work on Windows7 because the network driver stack has changed. I haven't actively coded for Windows in several years and I'm not really interested in looking any further into it. Use an OS that doesn't suck.
Another trick is to use another PC (or a guest VM) and redirect the hostname back to the first pc where RTMPSUCK is running.
