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.

Thanks,
John Hunter
