is there a way to make a program that would change router and firewall settings regardless of what router brand? if so, how would you do it and what language? The settings that would be changed would just be to tell the router to forward a port to a certain internal ip.
help would be appreciated

A spammer's worst nightmare
I can just about guarantee the answer is "no". At least, not in a way that won't require updates to the application or its database for every new router/firewall that comes out. More importantly, it seems like a bit of a waste of time.

An easier method may be to edit the windows/Linux/Unix hosts file to forward domains to certain IPs.

The Crazy One
Because Linksys and D-Link routers use a standard HTTP-Auth interface, its fairly easy to script a program to automate it. Many families of routers (ALA wrt45**) use the exact same interface.
As jordan also mentioned, you can modify the hosts file (a concept that exists on all modern OS's) to forward queries to certain hostnames to anywhere you want.
A third option is to install DD-WRT on the router, and modify it to suite your needs.
