You can host the DNS on your own box. Most ISPs expect to handle the DNS for the forward zone but it's not a must, I have a dedicated server and host my DNS on the same server. However, if you are thinking of hosting your DNS on a domestic cbale feed or DSL, I would suggest you don't, as DNS stability affects all your server's software. You can't host the inverse domain, BTW.

Dear all, Can anyone or those work with ISP help me to clearify the question below: For a registered domain, it is a MUST to host the Pri or 2nd dns at ISP? Eg. I registered a domain called "apple.com" I would need to provide the Pri and 2nd dns during registration, so can I setup the Pri and 2nd DNS and hosted myself? or what should be the right way? Really appreciate all advise...
