DNS Issues

[ald]

I'm not sure how much configuration Verisign offers you.

I use Go Daddy ($8 or $9 a year, I think), which lets you set the name 
servers.  I just run a DNS name server on my computer, and give Go Daddy 
my current RR IP (which hasn't changed) and the IP of the server of a 
friend. If my RR IP ever changes, I can update the DNS entry on Go 
Daddy's website (it takes 15-24 hours for the update to kick in) so it 
points at my computer again and tell my friend so he can update his entry.

What I like most about the setup is that it's really cheap, but I have a 
great deal of control.  I can easily add/delete/change entries with a text 
editor instead of having to use some company's website and then wait for 
them to get around to actually doing the changes.
