Hi, I'm new to DNS and W2003 servers but have manage to get our up and
running. What I want ot know is how to have:

Webmail.mydomain.co.uk resolve to:
192.168.1.202:5108
and
WebAdmin.mydomain.co.uk resolve to:
192.168.1.202:5107.

Is this possible and if so how.

John.
 
I cant really help you out with the answer to your question but I noticed
that after installing Active Directory there are a series of DNS entries
created by default. These records are used by Active Directory, however
(and I could be leading you in the wrong direction) there is an entry for
the port number within these record which leads me to believe that you can
set port numbers within DNS records.

Good luck

You cannot -- not as you are hoping. But the
effect is possible perhaps.

[DNS does have the new SRV records for specific
services but this still requires the "client application"
to know the port and few clients even use these.]

You can either build a web page with links that include
those port numbers OR you can use "Host Headers"
instead of "ip address" or "port" to distinguish the two
web content sites.

With "host headers" the name itself is used to distinguish.
In IIS, just look at the Advanced button near where the
IP is normally specified for each web site (same place
you enter/use ports.)
