I’m wondering if there is a bug in the loadbalancer 4.0 version as we have tried to change the redirect port to port 80 and it always goes to port 1935 for the redirect URL. Can anybody confirm that’s a bug or not?

u are running a webserver in port 80? if yes, add a route to wowza, in nginx u can do:

```auto
	location ~ ^/live/(.*)$ {
            resolver 8.8.8.8;
            proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
            proxy_pass http://0.0.0.0:1935;
	}

```

Hi GraemeBull,

You should be able to use the loadbalanceClientForcePort property on the client server to force the redirected port to a different one. If this is not working for you, please [open a support request](https://www.wowza.com/support/open-ticket) and send a copy of your conf/ and logs/ folders from both master and client server.
