Sure. Just tell whatever company you register your domain with that
the primary name server is your Sun box, and give them a slave
(secondary) server. Search the Web for "free secondary dns service"
and you'll find a couple of companies that are most willing to help
you out with that, if you haven't got a second box for that job.
