Hi all, here is my quandry. I am receiving all the strange traffic associated with the nimd@ virus on IIS machines and I'm interested in eliminating this noise. What I want to do is move my webserver to a port other than 80. The way I have it setup right now is as follows.
- Smoothwall router as external interface.
- Redhat 7.1 box with apache on internal network.
- Forward port 80 to RH box and open port 80 in smoothwall.
- I have a dynamic IP so i bound smoothwall to a dyn.dhs.org domain name and forward my dot-com to that using www.zoneedit.com (http://www.zoneedit.com)

So, what I want to do is move to an arbitrary port much higher than 80, like 8080 or something. I know that dyn.dhs.org will not allow me to enter the my IP as XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:YYYY it doesn't like the :YYYY so is there another service like dhs.org that allows this and will work with smoothwall?? I really want to get it taken care of because someone crashed my RH box today somehow!
