InHisGrip,
I think you'll want to use a third-party DNS service like zoneedit
(www.zoneedit.com) to handle the non-standard port. I use zoneedit on
one of my servers and I've used a non-standard port (8080) on apache so
I know this works. Try this:
1. Go to zoneedit and sign up
2. Config apache to listen to 8080 (done)
3. Check to see if Apache works in a browser by using a URL:
http://3.4.5.6:8080/. Use the port number that you're listening on and
the real IP address of your machine.
4. Add the "IP Address" for your web server in ZoneEdit:
"ww2.my-site.com.com" points to "ip address".
5. Add a Web Forward entry for your domain called "www.domainname.com"
that points to http://ww2.my-site.com:8080/
You can turn cloaking off. This lets people know thay are going to
http://ww2.my-site.com:8080 is usually OK, and it allows the browser to
perform better.
I hope this helps.
