I only know enough about IIS to know that it's a nasty, memory-eating
beast.
But, you should be able to configure a virtual web at port 8383 that will
either immediately redirect the browser to the appropriate machine:port,
or dish up a splash page with info about the change, and a META tag to
refresh to the new URL after 15 seconds (or whatever is comfortable).

** DNS:
**
** $ORIGIN peake.com.
** @ MX mail.peake.com.
** mail MX mail.peake.com.
** webmail MX mail.peake.com.
**
** www A ip.ad.re.ss ; 3-feet-away machine
** webmail A ip.ad.re.ss ; current machine
** mail A ip.ad.re.ss ; current machine
**
** I suggest that you stop IIS on webmail and tell all your users

**
** http://webmail.peake.com
**
** without all that geeky :8383 stuff people often forget.
