You may consider using your own bind as a hidden master that will
then update a number of external DNS servers via notify. That way
you fill in what is to be in DNS and you have all needed diversity.
This does not remove the need to register all those nameservers for
EACH name with the registrar that has sold the name.<br>
<br>
Probably your ISP is not involved with the forward DNS, for .com,
maybe Godaddy, for .dk it would be dk-hostmaster.dk, for .sk it
would be somebody else. All depending on who registered the domain
in question.<br>
<br>
Reverse mapping will be your ISP, if they are willing. Most really
don't accept to do it, that usually depends on the price you pay.<br>

you do know that you should have two SERVERS for your dns?
Giving two different IPs for your box will work. but is a very bad idea.
Even if everything else is on that machine, for some uses (eg. mail)
having no DNS data is worse than having a failed server.

I read in forums about people that could run their own DNS
server at the same server they had their sites, that's why I
tried. But I know (and I understand why) that the good
practice is to have two external DNS servers in different
locations.

First, as stated before, I doubt if anyone will ask your server for that
info.

<pre wrap="">
Stop here, this is my obscure point: how do you get that your
dns be asked? What do you need? What must I ask to my isp
(my vps provider in this case) for? What do you mean by "to be
designated nameserver for the IPs"?

<pre wrap="">Second - what is the name of 11.22.33.44? Is it mydomain.com?
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.mydomain.com">www.mydomain.com</a>? ns1.mydomain.com? AFAIK there can be only one PTR record.

<pre wrap="">
Yes, I release of my mistake. Just one domain for ip.

<pre wrap="">In case my configuration is OK,

<pre wrap="">
Probably nothing. If you can dig/nslookup on your host from external
hosts, then it looks they don't need to do anything.

<pre wrap="">
This is exactly what a cannot do: to dig/nslookup from
external hosts.
Well, my goal (tell me if it is a fantasy:)) is to be able to
update automatically my registers. I ignore the features and
flexibility of bind, perhaps I should change the strategy.
Could you give me some clue? Can I use bind just as slave of
the external name server (being it godaddy's dns or my vps
provider's one)?
