Wow.
Thanks for the fast response. This is amazing.
You're welcome. I'm pretty sure on this list, the custom is not to
top-post.
No, I did not work for that station. I am in San francisco and was in
elementary school during the 80s.

What does fqdn mean and what is the authoritave server?
FQDN = Fully Qualified Domain Name ... the complete name from all the
way down to the "root" (.)
foo.bar.baz.wikipedia.org. is fully qualified
myhost is not.
I was somewhat sloppy in my answer - a server being "authoritative" in
DNS is waaaaaaaaay beyond the scope of this list ... what I really MEANT
to say is the "origin server" (I think that's the name -- it has been a
*long* time since I've had to quote chapter and verse from the DNS RFCs)
It is that server which has the files that define the recordset for a zone.
Whoever is responsible for your domain will be able to answer that
question for you (hostmas...@yourdomain.com ought to point to that
person according to a best-practices doc from some eons ago).
As other people have mentioned, you can go w/ a third-party vendor for
this, if having a name in their domain is acceptable to your mission.
