AT&T cablemodem port blockage survey

[se at panix.com (Scott Ehrlich)]

Are there any web redirection sights which act like a tzo.com, where you
can give it a URL and port number and point everyone just to the URL?  If
the port number changes, the user still goes to the URL, but the site
covertly redirects the user to the new port number you specify, with the
user never knowing what happened?

This would permit port 80 blocks to take affect, and the user to change to
whatever available port you want, and incoming connections to continue
with little-to-no downtime and without knowing/caring about ports.
