Re: domain name help

[Dave Rittenhouse <kb8ync@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i have done dns  servers for closed (intranet) systems without problem,
just have never done it for the internet, and i wouldn't think it would be
much diffrent, so i'll try both, thanks for the help, also i found
internic's prices to be very high anyway

> When you register a domain you have to say what domain server the master for that domain will be.  The domain server must be one registered with them.  Usually an ISP's DNS server is used.  The BEST solution is to register the domain with CORE (www.joker.com) which provides DNS services for registered domains.  Setting up your own registred DNS server to master your domain is probably NOT something you want to do.
