ISPConfig/GoDaddy/NameServers - Can I forward my domain to :8080

I am drastically trying to figure out a solution or a workaround for blocked port 80 INBOUND.

My ISP recently BLOCKED port 80 inbound. No notice, no nothing - this has me furious. As a bandaid - I setup ISPConfig to listen on port :8080. (thanks again for helping me figure that out!)

Now I am trying to figure out how I can get my domain to point to the PORT :8080. I know this sounds impossible BUT I AM DETERMINED. (Actually Omnis offers this service included in their basic 6.95 domain name registration - they call it PROXY something or other in the DNS management)

Would it be possible to follow the ISPConfig/Godaddy/NameServer "How-TO" and then configure my Nameserver to forward requests through/to port 8080???

HERES THE CATCH. I ONLY HAVE ONE IP! I lost my 4 additional IP's (they were just DHCP but had never changed) Anyway, now everything is setup behind a NAT/Firewall but I still only have the 1 IP.

I read somewhere it was possible to follow the "how-to" with just 1 IP (only setting up the one box)... Would it also be possible for that 1 box/nameserver to forward requests on to port :8080?

I am also open to other ideas. I have several extra servers lying around now since I lost the IP's... I am open to using them as well? I can forward DNS to one box and serve HTTP on port 8080 of the other? Or I can I use the 1 box for everything? The hardware is P4 2.8ghz 1gig Ram etc...

 

I just thought of something else - since my ISP blocks port 80 incoming; even if I had my own Nameserver - would it be able to receive and resolve requests?

I can't receive any transmission over port 80...

 

So Till,

If my ISP does NOT block DNS incoming, could I setup the nameserver to redirect the users browser to (IP : port) or will it only allow IP??? (sounds like the latter from your previous post)

Again, I now have a working ISPConfig setup to serve/listen on port 8080. Now I would like to setup the nameserver to match with the ISPConfig box - because my host BLOCKS PORT 80 INCOMING!!!

 

No a DNS server is only telling the world where the IP(s) of the server is.
A DNS can not redirect ports.

So.. If some user wants to see your domain (that is on an other port), than they need to type : www.domain.com:8080 (in this case it's port 8080)

no-ip could be an option for you.

 

basically I want to MIMIC the "proxy service" mentioned here:

Basically it is an A record that points www.domain.com to www.domain.com:8080. But the URL in the Users Browser remains www.domain.com.


Does NO-IP offer this function? I didn't see it? It looks like dyn-dns?

 

You can't use forwards with name-based vhosts because you will then get the Shared-IP page.
