You've answered your own question here.... mminternet.com _is_ the domain,
silver168
is only a machine on the domain. You don't register each machine.
hrm, maybe there's still something that i'm missing...let's say I want to
register www.linuxnewbie.com (just an example), and have it point to my
machine (silver168). The ADSL provider provides me with a static IP, so I
figured this'd be possible (plus a friend of mine with the same setup did
it)...
you don't _need_ to be a dns server. ( You can install bind) BTW, I just
pinged your
box, and got a reply. YOur'e good to go. :-)
hehe, I should hope you'd be able to ping the machine, it's my mail server
;). Cool, I just found bind (was using DNS as a search string).
thanks :)
