Create DNS record to redirect to a specific port.

[cornetthd]

I am not able to create a DNS record to point to a url with the port
number included in Active Directory. Is there a way to create this
record. I need to have a record point to
http://ipaddress:41080/example/example.jsp.

DNS does not have the concept of "port number" in its
records. (This was completely true in the past but is not
quite the case today with SRV records which do include
a concept of service and thereby in some sense port.)

So ignoring SRV records (which practically no clients
except AD domain clients trying to reach DCs would use)
you cannot use DNS for this but much rather do such
routing on the "application server" (e.g., the Web server
usually.)
