How to MAP my Static IP (Numeric) to a URL

I have found out a link in VLC Documentation i.e

Code: Select all

vlc -vvv input_stream --sout '#standard{access=http,mux=ogg,url=server.example.org:8080}
I'm using a static IP (e.g 123.123.32.23)

Suppose I use Port 8080 to stream in mp4 prococol. So when I watch this link from some another IP on some another system then it works like http://123.123.32.23:8080 . Yes I'm able to successfully play the client but here is where MY QUESTION COMES i.e if I want to use something like http://www.mydomainname.com/stream1:8080 then how to use it. Can anyone help me out in this? Basically I want to convert numeric values to easy remember url.

I'm using Windows 2003 to stream the VLC Player.

I have a web server installed on some another static ip and my domain name is hosted there. Can it helpful from any angle??

Easiest thing would be no-ip.org, http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/ or some similar service. Or maybe creating subdomain that directs to new server, like video.mydomainname.com if you have full control of your domain.

Thanks it worked.. I simply created a new sub domain and entered the static ip and thats it :)

However I still wonder that how can I use the feature like encoder streaming to a server and from there all people are getting connected (for example combination of Adobe Media Encoder and Adobe Flash Media Server)
