forget about the HTTP Request Defaults.  in the TestPlan element, create user-defined 
variables (read about here: 
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/functions.html). 

For instance:

name            value
server          jakarta.apache.org

then start recording.  JMeter will find all instances of "jakarta.apache.org" and 
replace with 
${server} while recording.  Then, when you play back, you can just change the value of 
the 
"server" variable.  I think you can to the same with the port, and you can certainly 
do the 
same with parts of the path.
