setting up my own DNS nameserver

[aaabyss at a-aabyss.com]

Phil,

It has bacame my experience after alot of hair-pulling frustration 
that you have to register any 'hosts' for a domain with the *SAME* 
registrar that registered the domain name originally.

Anything else will not work.

If the domain has been transferred from the 'original' registrar it 
might possibly become another nightmare altogether.

YMMV
HTH
