DNS needed to register domain...

[Scott]

Do you only need one static IP address to use two nameservers?  I'd like to
use my Linux machine to host my own domain too for hosting Web sites.  I
have a DSL connection with one static IP, yet Net Sol asks for 2 nameservers
and IP addresses.  Is BIND the way around this?  I'm new to this, so go easy
on me.

Thanks,
Scott
