redirecting traffic from dns name to "dnsname:port/site"

    hello,

    i know redirecting to a port is not done via dns, and i've done redirecting before in IIS, but i'm new to apache and so i don't have a clue.

    i installed the latest easyphp but had to run my apache on port 8080 since something (presumably mssql) was occupying port 80... (netstat -b wasn't really helpfull - "cannot obtain ownership info", anywayz, figured i could make it work on 8080 so)

    i got the easyphp going, including the site i'm running (ip:8080/site) but what i want to do now is make it available with an easy dns name.

    i added a host in my dns (host.domain) which is ping-able, but where and how can i translate the host.domain to host.domain:8080/site?

    thanks for helping out!

    regards,
    Steven.
