I've transfered my domain to TotalNIC which does have a register 
dns host option on their page.  My ignorance on this point cost 
me $9.95 and a few hours, oh well.  Once the transfer is 
complete I'll post an update on the results for the sake of 
future archive searchers (I hate it when I follow a thread in an 
archive and there is not follow up on the solution)

Thanks Everyone,
