My isp blocks port 80 so I have to run it on another port, so I picked 81. I setup apache to listen to port 81, and it works fine. My problem is getting my domain to point to port 81. I do not want to use a commercial service as I run my own DNS server. How can this be achieved, that is how can I get my domain to be forwarded to my.ip.address:81


Thanks

By design DNS servers can’t do what you want to do.
I’m sure as you know all web browsers default to 80.
The quickest solution is to obtain a free website and make your index page perform a redirect to www.youdomain.com:81.
Then just give out the site with the redirect page on it.
