However, as far as I know, you can't specify a port in DNS for a given domain (and shouldn't have to).

I think for the most part you understand exactly what I am trying to do and I understand exactly what you are saying to do. So in the registrar info, I can just put an IP for the nameserver instead of something like ns1.classicserver.net?

Now I just have to figure out how to do this. I don't have the machine all set up right now but I'll edit this post later with alt he entry fields and options it wants me to fill out. Thanks for the help.
