That sounds like you need multiple (1000) services. stunnel is capable of 
binding to many different IPs and ports via services which can be defined 
inside stunnel.conf.

I again cite from my test stunnel.conf:

[pop3s]
accept  = 995
connect = 110

[imaps]
accept  = 993
connect = 143

[ssmtp]
accept  = 465
connect = 25

[s1]
accept  = 5000
connect = server1:110

[s2]
accept  = 5001
connect = server2:25

[s10000]
accept = 10000
connect = 80

[10.1.1.100]
accept = 10100
connect = 80

[client-10.1.1.101]
accept = 10101
connect = 80

[Arbeitsstation-APC102]
accept = 10102
connect = 80

Hope this cutout helps ...
