Subject: DNS and port forwarding
DynDNS.Org offers the redirector service, but it is not port forwarding.
(The DNS standard does not make port forwarding mandatory so most web
clients and DNS resolution clients do not support it.) The DNS and BIND
book from O-Reilly has an article on it. :)

Okay I am not sure exactly how this works, but someone told me I need to
find a DNS service that does port forwarding ... what I want is for
www.mydomain.com to point directly to m.y.i.p:8000 since my ISP filters
port 80 without having to put the :8000 after the domain, my registrar
doesn't do this, the only option they have is for it to redirect, which
is what im doing now, but not ideal, does anyone know of a service that
does this? preferreably cheap!
