So, to jump in here and hopefully provide a clear solution:
Registering the DNS is only part of what you need to do to have people
going to
http://blah.dep.someuniv.edu/ arrive at your website. The first
thing, as you suspected, is to assign DNS to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. Don't
worry about the :8000/SART part for now.
The second thing you will need to do is, in the admin console (or
domain.xml) change the port that you are running glassfish on from 8000
to 80.
The last thing you will need to do is deploy your SART application with
a context-root of '/'. You can set the context root when you deploy,
either through the admin console or through the command line.
Hopefully that lays out what you need to do?
