How to use DNS to redirect domain to specific port on my server

This question is similar to the one asked here https://serverfault.com/questions/229091/how-do-i-set-the-dns-server-on-godaddy-with-aws except that i need little furthur info. My tomcat webserver is running at a port 8080. So the URL looks actually like http://IP:8080. But i godaddy DNS manager it does not allow to mention port. SO how do i forward the DNS name to this IP and then to this specific port

DNS Translates Domain to IP.

Port is not a part of that game at all.

    There is no way. (http just "hints" your browser to try port 80, http_s_ dose the same for port 443, ftp for 21 and so on...) – Tabakhase Apr 02 '12 at 23:14
