Is there a way to create a record that forwards to a specified port? i.e.
webmail.mydomain.com >> xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9998

TIA - Rob
 
Not really. SRV records could allow this, but IE does not query for SRV
records, it queries for A records. You could probably redirect
webmail.mydomain.com to that uri including the port number on a web server
however using redirects.
 
Not in DNS. You can do it on your webserver. You create a website called
"xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx", you bind it to port 9998. You create a webiste called
"webmail.mydomain.com", you put a default page in there that redirects to
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9998

Thanks guys! I was afraid that was the only way to handle this. I guess the
redirect script is what I'll use. I appreciate the feedback.
