I have loads of questions even though I've read through this stuff. And I'm hoping that you can help me clarify them. Thanks in advance ! Now that I've registered a certain domain through godaddy.com I wish to set up my own DNS server. In the Godaddy's web interface there is a way to set two new DNS server. Can I just put one of the server to be my DNS primary leaving out the secondary ? Or can I leave their server to be my secondary ? I'm asking this because I'm on DSL with a static IP, but don't want to have two server just for DNS. By going the this way, with only one DNS server, this wouldn't be proper and safe right ? Thank you
