I think I may have misled you all - sorry. Upon re-reading my thread, I realised this was (obviously!) not possible using my steps.
Take a look at the link here http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1020879&page=1 This explains how a special HTTP re-direct service is used to re-direct HTTP traffic to another server/port. neil -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 May 2005 00:08 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT:DNS SRV resource Kit Neil, I'm not sure I follow you here. Are you saying people use DNS to do port redirection for requested records? As in, I go and create an alias called ww2 in a domain called xcompany.com and I am able to specify the port and get DNS to inspect a request for ww2.xcompany.com:portABC and redirect the client to the appropriate A record? Am I just reading you upside-down?

I like to create a DNS entry that includes the port number of the Website on one of my internap IIS boxes. I know I can do this with host headers within IIS but I was wondering wether I could do it so that www.xcompany.com <http://www.xcompany.com/> would be redirected to http://server/webiste:456 for example.
