Setting up a temporary server not on the default port

Ok, so I have a velocity/paper setup working as expected - no issues. With tomorrow being April Fools, if its a good joke update, I want to set up a temp server for my players, but as its the April Fools, it has to be a vanilla jar. I know its not possible without more work than its worth to put it behind velocity, but I cant set up the temp server on 25565 BECAUSE thats currently being used by velocity, and all my DNS just points to the dedicated server via A record and then velocity does the rest of the work. So basically the question is - is there a way for me to set up a vanilla server using a proper domain like aprilfools.domain.com and have it point to IP:<port that isnt 25565>, or would I be forced to give players IP:Port to connect to the temporary server?

vanillacord can hook up to your velocity proxy if that works with april fools versions but that is possible with a SRV record if i understood correctly bedrock wouldn't work though

Yea bedrock not a problem we’re Java only. Is there a step by step? Sorry for asking I’m on my way to work and won’t be able to test till tonight. Wanna test it was a current vanilla jar when I get home so I can get it working before the snapshot comes out.
