I am using tpipe from David Rosen which once appeared in comp.sources.unix:

%tpipe is a simple utility program that can be used to split a unix
%pipeline into two pipelines. That is, the output of one pipeline can
%be replicated and supplied as the input to two other pipelines
%executing simultaneously.
%
%For example
%    cmd1 <infile | tpipe "cmd2 | cmd3 >outfile" | cmd4
%will look like this diagramatically:
%
%                         --> cmd2 --> cmd3 --> outfile
%                       /
%    infile  --> cmd1 -<
%                       \\
%                         --> cmd4 -->  (standard output)

That is probably what you are looking for.
