Try http://www.dyndns.org It'll cost you $25 a year (maybe $20) to have them do the DNS for your domain. Running a caching DNS server isn't going to help...that box would actually need to be registered as a nameserver, and for all that trouble, it's worth paying someone to handle your DNS.


I've read and setup the DNS HOWTO and everything works well (for my
internal network). [DSL connection with almost static IP].  This HOWTO
is essentially a cacheing nameserver.

Now I'd like to have named point to my external IP address - that is
pretty easy.


The trick seems to be setting the nameserver on the domain (ie where I
registered it).  The nameserver has to be a fully qualified name (ie IP
address doesn't work), so how do I get it to point to my computer - it
seems to be a chicken and egg situation...

I think the answer is that I need someone to be a secondary dns server
for me - am I right, and if so is there a freebe way of doing this?

My end goal here is to set up a family email and web server - so I'm
trying to keep costs to a minimum.

Mark.
