On linux, one could do a port forward:
EXTIF=eth0 # Or whatever the interface that faces internet is called.
iptables -A FORWARD -i $EXTIF -p tcp -s <client-ip> --dport 3306 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp -s <client-ip> \
-d <linux-fw-ip> --dport 3306 -j DNAT --to <internal-ip>:3306
