can we point subdomain ip to port other than 80 ?
When I am updating the domain A/AAA record , I have subdomain pointing to a different up, however I would like to use a service on port other than 80 or 443, i.e on port 5543 .
but when I am trying to access the service remote via test.example.com which is what I am updating using the below code
PAYLOAD = {
"type": "A",
"name": "vpn",
"target": 'x.x.x.x',
"priority": 50,
"weight": 50,
"port": 5543
}
resp = requests.put(URL, data=json.dumps(PAYLOAD), headers=headers)

Port numbers are not the province of DNS. Which port number(s) your app uses are up to you and/or the app configuration. In several variations, DNS maps names (foo.com) to IP addresses (1.2.3.4)…period. The port number is not relevant to that process.

In your case:
"target": 'x.x.x.x',
you need to make sure the target is listening on port 5443 to service the request you are sending (and that both the source & destination of the request/reply have port 5443 open in their respective firewalls). DNS has nothing to do with any of this.
