Question

I have Ubuntu 11.04 Natty and I'm using the bind9 service. I have it configured like this:

$TTL                    86400

example.com.         IN      SOA     ns1.example.com. root.example.com. (2012111201 10800 3600 604800 86400)
example.com.         IN      NS      ns1.example.com.
example.com.         IN      NS      ns2.example.com.

ns1.example.com.     IN      A       55.55.44.44
ns2.example.com.     IN      A       44.44.55.55
example.com.         IN      A       55.55.44.44

*.example.com.       IN      CNAME   example.com.

Now, all of my subdomains point to my main domain's IP, the first NS (55.55.44.44)

What I'm trying to do is have a subdomain point to another IP if the port is changed. For example:

test.example.com on port 80 would point to 55.55.44.44 and test.example.com on port 25565 would point to 33.33.33.33

Further explanation: I host a website on test.example.com on port 80, on the same server where the bind9 service is. But if you would save test.example.com in Minecraft it has to point to 33.33.33.33:25565.

So:

test.example.com:80       ->    55.55.44.44:80
test.example.com:25565    ->    33.33.33.33:25565

Is this possible? Thank you

Solution

No. DNS only resolves to the IP address level.

The closest you could get would be the configure the machine the DNS resolves to to perform port forwarding.

OTHER TIPS

No, this is not possible. DNS has no knowledge of ports.
