I have my own little server running FreeBSD on a DSL line, and found
this out the hard way.

In order to be a primary for yourself, you must first register you IP as
a host at internic, use the hostform at:

I looked around for cheap professional DNS, but didn't really find
anything I liked. So I decided doing primary on my own, and used the
free DNS server at http://soa.granitecanyon.com/ for my secondary. They
seems to work fine, but I prefer to do my primary on my own DNS server,
as it is not that bad to be without secondary for a period, but without
primary you vanish very quick....
