Re: CNAME with port number

[Sandip Bhattacharya <sandip@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Yash!

DNS is _not_ responsible for handling rewuest for anything other than
name to ip-address  and ip-address to name translation. After this
information is given to the client, the job for BIND is finished.

What you require is an application specific need, the solution would
vary according to the type of application that you want to use ...

For example, for web requests, you would need an actual wev server
listening on foo.com:80 which forwards the request to
newfoo:9128.
