You cannot redirect to a specific port using the DNS system. Currently dydns.org has beerstud.us pointing to IP address 63.208.196.110 If that is your IP address then hosts on the Internet that query www.beerstud.us will go to port 80 on that IP address. If that isn't your IP number then it must be an IP address of a webhost that will issue a HTTP redirect when it gets a query to port 80 on your beerstud.us URL. >The 'beerstud.us' redirects to 'www2.beerstud.us:9545' > >>From my FreeBSD box, if I type: lynx http://beerstud.us, I see the >following message: Using http://www2.beerstud.us:9545/.

You need to contact the support department of your ISP. I don't understand why you think that your ISP is just blocking port 80 and not any other port. There are firewalls out there nowadays smart enough to see an incoming HTTP request and block it no matter what port it's coming in on. If your ISP is blocking port 80 that probably means you haven't paid for an enhanced account that will allow you to run a server. If that is the case and your ISP is making money off allowing ports to be open for customers, then I would think that they probably have one of those firewalls setup that blocks incoming HTTP get requests no matter what port they come in on.
