So, basically anybody using that ISP's nameserver won't reach my domain but
all
others will.

---- nope... everyone's will if done properly


Maybe my question wasn't clear enough. I got a machine with a name. I set up
a
nameserver as granitecanyon.com up to resolve that name to my IP. This
though
leaves my machine unaffected of what nameserver to use when resolving names
itself??? Therefore I shouldn't have changed anything to how my machine was
set
up.
