specifying a port number?

[Ryan Faricy]

No. The port will be determined by the application itself, not DNS. webmail
will just be another normal subdomain, but the application, such as Apache,
that handles HTTP requests to port [whatever you choose] of
webmail.server.domain.com can be configured to listen to other ports and
handle virtual hosts such as webmail.server.domain.com, and serve up
completely different documents (such as those of a web-based email
application).
