As of right now it's being hosted at the web hosting company that she uses to publish her web pages. In other words, their DNS servers are doing the dirty work so "www.digitaltlc.com" points to their machines. > > I have a DSL connection with 2 static IP's. I'm running FreeBSD 4.0 Release. I don't mind them doing the work, what I want to do is add my home machines to the mix and I thought running a DNS server would be the way to do it. > > I mean if I wanted to set one machine as crack.digitaltlc.com and the other whatever.digitaltlc.com do I have to tell her hosting site to add it into their dns records or could I just run a DNS server to accomplish that. > No, you will have to ask them to do that. They addr.com have authority over the domain digitaltlc.com, and only them can add a host to that domain. Another thing you can do is to have them create a domain under digitaltlc.com and delegate authority for it to you. Example: home.digitaltlc.com. You now can add hosts under this domain without needing them. Example: crack.home.digitaltlc.com and whatever.home.digitaltlc.com You will have to run a name server to do this.
