I am hosting a web site for a course on one of my machines on port 8080. The hosting machine is nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu; the bsd.uchicago domain is administered by the university.
The website is http://nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu:8080/SRP Ideally, I would like to create an alias so the students can access the site as http://srp.bsd.uchicago.edu (new name, no port spec) or http://srp.bsd.uchicago.edu/SRP would be OK (no port spec) I was going to ask the University DNS if they could make the alias for nitace.bsd.uchicago, but I thought I might get some input from you guys to know who to ask and what to ask for. As far as I know, DNS can't handle port referrals. For the record, I am running a firewall which forwards requests for 8080 into the zope server which is on the LAN, and I am also forwarding port 80 requests to an apache serve on the LAN. I figure I could get apache to forward requests for http://nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu/SRP to http://nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu:8080/SRP but I have never done it. Then all I would have to do is get the DNS alias srp->nitace.
