I don't know if it exists for free for you, too, but our provider supports "HIDDEN PRIMARY" name servers. We just configure a name server in our network and tell him our IP address for that machine. That he transfers the zones to his name servers and provide internet reachable name services for all our domains and subdomains. > The FreeBSD handbook seems pretty straight-forward in setting up BIND. > However, I don't know how to distinguish more than one domain name when > using only one IP address. Also, is it possible for the home DNS and the > third party DNS's to work in tandem? It's easy when you use hidden primaries and forward requests you cannot answer by yourself.
