Aliasing port numbers to "plain" URL strings

| Hi
I have a problem I cannot seem to resolve. I would like to alias the some of
the URL people type in when they go to an Apache web server with
non-standard ports to plain names. For example, at the moment I have:
http://geodb.geoinformex.com:7777
but I would like people to be able to type in, for example
http://geodb/orapp/
to get to that location.
Similarly with some more complex URLs. I have:
http://geodb.geoinformex.com:7779/pls/portal
and I would like that to be:
http://geodb.geoinformex.com/portal/
How can I alias port numbers to "plain" names. I cannot use ScripAlias in
the httpd.conf file as that only aliases from the document root onwards,
i.e. it does not alias port numbers. Can anyone help me?
Thanks very much
Hugo

Have geoinformex.com in the search list on your resolvers. Run an HTTP
server on port 80. RedirectMatch ^/orapp/(.*)$
http://geodb.geoinformex.com:7777/$1 (optionally insert a suitable status
code).
Follow-ups set.
