Is "relay casting" a thing and what protocols should I look into?

We're having problems with multicasting taking too much bandwidth. There's a server which sends the same packets to 2 other remote servers. Insread of always having both packets traveling in our WAN links, I was thinking that maybe some sort of relay technology exists. So server 1 sends a packet to server 2. If the packet matches an ACL, then server 2 would send a duplicate to server 3.

Is that a thing? Can I relay packets instead of multicasting?
