Another free DNS place is ZoneEdit.com. They'll let you have 5 free "zones" and then
they charge
for others. I've used them for several domains I'm managing at work, and for my own
web server.
I've never had any trouble. GraniteCanyon has unlimited free zones, but seems to have
trouble
staying up and accepting changes. ZoneEdit allows CNAME and MX records in addition to
A records.
