Hi. I own the domain mfreeland.net, which I wish to use as my personal domain for email/web site/ftp/telnet/etc. I read a HOWTO for BIND9 and set up the server. All seems to be working when I dig to localhost, so I think I have everything configured. If you need it, I can send coppies of my named.conf and zone files. The problem I have is that when I went to my registrar, godaddy.com, and tried to change my nameservers to ns.mfreeland.net (my machine), it said a) you need 2 nameservers, and b) the nameserver is not registered. What must I do to get the nameserver registered, and is there any way to get around needing 2 nameservers? My server will be running from my dorm room, so I don't think they'll want me running 2 PCs fulltime. I understand that the slave server is supposed to be there in case the primary fails, but honestly, I don't care if my website goes down for a short time; it's just a private website. Thanks in advance for any help. Matthew Freeland PS Sorry if this goes out twice, I'm having trouble with the emtp server that my address is currently routed to.
