SRV record for DNS

[chriscouch]

I'm working on my dns server and setting up a SRV record. However, it doesn't seem to be working as I can't connect to my website. I want it to be using port 9080 instead of 80. I am very new to this, so thanks for the help.

here is what I have... any suggestions would be appreciated.

$origin mywebsite.com.

@ SOA ( ns1.example.com. ; primary server
spam@me.net ; contact
2004112101 ; serial number
1s ; refresh
2s ; retry
1s ; expire
1s ) ; ncache ttl

mywebsite.com. A x.x.x.x
www A x.x.x.x
_http._tcp.mywebsite.com SRV 1 1 9080

http://www.mywebsite.com.

any suggestions would be appriciated. thanks

Chris

why do you want to add a SRV record?? to record the IP of your Web server???

You dont do it this way.....

try this:

-add a Host record (A) to DNS for your web server's IP.
-in IIS, change the port it listens on for the site in question to 9080

then surf to it this way

http://www.mysite.com:9080

the reason I want to use the SRV record is I want to be able to write mywebsite.com and not have to write down mywebsite.com:9080 and I heard that SRV is the only way to do that. Unless there is another way? Thanks
