URL redirection

[Rachel]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.dns (More info?)

we have multiple web servers...
Server A=1.2.3.4
Server B=1.2.3.5
Server C=1.2.3.6

ok server A is our primary DNS server, server B is the secondary, we've
launched a service for our clients on port 1111 that was installed on server
B, the service is accusable by typing http://1.2.3.5:1111, so we would like
to create a name to resolve to this so if they type
http://service.domain.com it should redirect to port 1111 on server B,
what's
the best way to do this?

Also is there a DNS revolver management monitor tool to notify us when a
client is no longer pointing to us?

Thanks

DNS cannot assign ports, it can only give you an IP address for a name. I'm
not sure why you want to use a non-standard port, but you could create a
website on port 80 then in the properties of the website, on the Home
directory tab select a redirection to a URL then set the redirection to
http://1.2.3.5:1111 then create a DNS record for service.domain.com pointing
to the original website. You have to understand, DNS cannot do redirections,
website redirection is a function of a web server.
