Question : dns question--how to point name to server on specific port?

hi

im running an internal remote assistance system.  it is set up to use port 1181.  im also running a trouble ticket system on the same server.

is there a way in internal dns i can set it up so that when users type "remote" in IE, it resolves to the remote system?  currently, it is going to http://www.rapidassist.com/launch.asp?context=******&service=user

the company installed it locally and when i click the link, it does run on our interenal server instead of theirs, but what i ultimately want is for the word remote to go to the same site.

im not a guru with dns, so thanks

Create remote in your dns and point it to your webserver (i'm assuming IIS)
In IIS, create a new site, go into properties and choose the IP address,
Click advanced, double click on the IP there and add remote for the Host Header Name
Create a blank page in the web sites directory, name it default.html and make the content be what's in the code snippet below

Now when a person types in remote in IE, it should redirect to http://www.rapidassist.com/launch.asp?context=******&service=user
