Hmm, maybe not - if you are talking about an HTTP redirect then postform will handle this.

What we expect is to let clients to directly >contract the Server2 not through Server1, at this moment. I am sure I don't understand what you are saying here. Could you please clarify? Maybe what you want is to let all requests go to server2 and have a CGI script there talk to server1 to see if the user is authenticated? That is, put server2 in the HTML form and have the CGI script with the postform program running on server2 posting data to server1?
