How do you make a subdomain point to another port on the same computer?* like share.domain.com = domain.com:81

so I could have a webmail server setup on port 81 and my main server on 80.* That way I could mask port 81 and not have the users type it in!* Also while i'm on subdomains, how do you make one that points to another directory like sub.domain.com would really = domain.com/directory

I'm using Microsoft DNS Service, and would prefer to use this!* Also i'm on Windows 2000 Adv. Server.* Thanks for all the input

I think it may depend on what webserver you are using...

Thanks for this info

I was hoping to be setting up a few sites on my PC

Just wanted to let everyone know what I did and it worked.

1.  in DNS i added host mail.i2techs.com
2.  in IIS Manager I added a new website with a host header of mail.i2techs.com
3.  after you click finish right click and goto properties -> Document Home or somethign like that and choose redirect url, it will redirect sub.domain.com to aol.com if you want it to.  But I have it going to my mailserver that is on another port. 

Works like a charm.  My question is now how do you cloak it?  if someone goes to
http://mail.i2techs.com they will see this in the urlhttp://www.i2techs.com:81

anyway to hide that?

Thanks,

You could add another LAN IP address to the host machine, and allocate that to mail.i2techs.com in IIS. Alter the DNS entry, then use port 80 on the new IP address for the mail host.

Any use?

thats a good idea!  thanks, never thought of that!  how can I add another LAN IP to it?  i really dont know how to go about doing that.  Any help?  Thanks!

Probably the most useful information is how to cloak the url.

I understand url cloaking is done using frames (defining only one), but I can't help much with html. You could have a look here for some guidance there.http://www.dslreports.com/forum/rema...monk~mode=flat

So you could configure a subdomain with a redirect inside a frame to your mail server, and all surfing within the mail server would be inside the frame which would have the address of the frame.

Other solutions all require a different port I think

Hope there's some help there
