I'm running a slackware linux webserver and a MS exchange server.

The old admin set up the Linux box to forward all requests for to the webmail IIS directory on the exchange box, port 2468 (the web server handles all port 80 requests).

Does anyone have any idea what file controls that redirection in the Linux box?

sounds like a squid proxy instead of a DNS issue. DNS handles whole hostnames to IPs and back again. Anything that works on a port level would be something like a proxy, such as squid.

ALSO, is is possible that the use of the Apache web server on the linux box is able to use the mod_proxy and mod_rewrite functions to perform a proxy'ing function at the web server level.

scan/grep the /usr/local/apache/httpd.conf file for entries matching "proxy" or "rewrite". If you find them there, you probably have the likely control.
