Dealing with NAT

Hi again. I'm on a DSL line which uses Network Address Translation to map
incoming requests to individual computers on my LAN. I have only one public
IP address for the router. NAT allows you to alias a real port (80) to a
private port (9001 for instance). Thus:

166.90.75.31 -> Web Server A
166.90.75.31:9001 -> Web Server B

This is all fine and dandy BUT dns records don't contain any port
information (do they?). So I can't use domain names for Web Server B. Or can
I? Is there a workaround for this?

TIA,

Kirk
