DNS Hosting

[Bertalan David III]

yeah, i'm an @home user, and i tried using my machine as a dns server for some
domain i bought.  however, the bad part was, is that i had registered my
domain w/ networksolutions, before i knew all of these other domain name
registers came about.  i tried putting my machine as a name server, and it
came back and told me i wasn't allowed to becauses i didn't have permissions
on att's domain, or something like that.  i'm sure if you use another register
besides network solutions, you won't have that problem cause they probably
don't care, but i really don't know....
