The way it works is you register a domain name with the redirection 
service ... say company.com ... the DNS then points company.com to the 
redirection server's IP ... you connect to port 80 ... the redirection 
server see's that you have requested company.com, it then looks up the 
IP and port for the REAL company.com web site and forwards traffic to 
that IP and port.
