If I use cloaking, the URL is displayed but the page is a 100% frame (not compatible with Google and just plain horrible). So, I need some real DNS. No problem, except it seems like DNS will only forward a URL to an IP without a port specified for example 34.328.392.94 (default to port 80). I could have DNS resolve the name, then forwarding send it to the port, but then the port would show up after the address in the borwser address bar. All I want is the URL (not the IP or port) with no frames. Also if you click a link from the main page, it's address needs to show up in the browser bar just like normal (www.somesite.com/page.html)

Is what I am in need of even possible? If not, what is the best possible solution?

I think you'll have to give us more info. Such as is it yoru own server on yoru own modem/router? Whats the OS and is it using apache? If I recall from when I was setting up my server (mike-site.us) I had my modem/router send any requests to my IP address to my server's ip address, then apache listened on the port which I assigned to it and voila. If I understand you correctly sounds like you want to do something like that?
