Sorry, it can't be done with DNS. You could use website redirection but then
one would wonder if you did that why not just use port 80 in the first
place.

If you want to access the site with a single-label name, you'll want to add
the name to your hosts file on your machines.

For your HTTP server to accept the name you'll need to configure that in the
server, with the host header. You can do this using IIS, but I'm not up on
your your particular HTTP server, I can't tell you how to configure it for
the name.
