Brian,
tried my.domain.com to my.domain.com:8080. doesnt work only allows IP:PORT. btw Cox internet out here even with a business account blocks port 80.

As far as I know, dyndns gives you an actual DNS lookup, so when
someone types your subdomain into their browser, it does a DNS lookup,
and gets the IP address you gave to dyndns. That's why port numbers
work, it's not that dyndns is listening on every port and forwarding
based on the requested subdomain. That being the case, I don't think
there's any way to do what you want here: DNS maps names to ip
addresses, it doesn't know anything about ports.

I'm not sure how webhop works: you can't tell it to redirect
my.domain.com to my.domain.com:8080? Are you only able to give an IP
address and port for the destination?

If you have legitimate business needs for this site, your best bet is
probably to just get a business account with your ISP that will
unblock port 80. You'd probably get a static IP with the account, too,
so you wouldn't need dyndns, you can just buy a 5$ a year domain name
of your own. Plus, additional bandwidth.

We are using dydns too. We can append the port number, sure. that sucks for
users though. (thats why we use webhop)maybe we should petition dyndns to
allow the domains they hand out to be linked to an IPADDRESS:PORT instead of just an IP. That would elminate any workarounds like webhop and suffice to
say solve the port 80 issue with ISP's.

How are you "redirecting" to the IP address? I used to use dyndns.com
for my subdomain name, and I was able to append the port number with
no problem. E.g., my subdomain was something like bmearns.homeip.net,
so I just went to http://bmearns.homeip.net:8080.

Do you not want users to see your IP address for security reasons? Or
just because it's ugly and utterly forgettable? If it's for security
reasons, and they're connecting directly to your site through the
domain forwarding (i.e., not through a proxy), then they should be
able to get your IP address anyway with a DNS lookup.

John,

We too are limited to port 8080. since our ISP blocks port 80. Have you ever found a work around for this? We currently have to have our domain
[sub.domain.com] redirect to 72.x.x.x.:8080 in order for it to work.
Now
users see the ip address in the browser address bar. not good. not good
at
all.
