as usual, a typical engineering answer, "it depends"
I take it all the IP addresses are public? You can use whichever public
address you want. What method are you using to connect to Telstra? (a box
with a modem or is the box connected to a router with some frame
relay/atm/serial link etc?)
you dont have to tell telstra anything about your hosts. set up the
mydomain.com zone on your own box, then I guess you'd email
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to tell them the IP address to do zone transfers
from.
Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with your questions. You're their customer,
they should be helping you.

Subject: [SLUG] Telstra Bigpond Direct WAN IP and DNS:
Hello all,
I am trying to setup my linux box for DNS on Bigpond Direct.
However I am a little confused about which IP address
to assign my box.
I plan to be the Primary DNS with Telstra as Secondary.
I was given a WAN IP address, and a LAN IP range. Do I use
the WAN IP for the Linux box?
And then for the hostname,is there a way to tell Telstra that it
should be 'hostname.mydomain.com' so when I register a domain thats
the enter as the primary and not something
like 'cust.abc.xyx.telstra.net' that Telstra assigns...
Thanks in advance,
Adrian.
