Art: I'll refer to the domain you've registered for yourself as mydomain.net, and the domain that your ISP maintains as ispdomain.net.
1. Register your primary and secondary nameservers for mydomain.net with the NIC. Web forms to do this can be found at http://www.networksolutions.com/. I think the NIC requires that at least two nameservers be specified, so check out http://soa.granitecanyon.com/ for free primary and/or secondary DNS service. 2. Tell your ISP to remove mymachine from ispdomain.net, and to add the appropriate PTR record to their in-addr.arpa domain, something like: 100.789.456.123.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR mymachine.mydomain.net. if your IP address is 123.456.789.100. 3. Add the appropriate record to your primary nameserver: mymachine.mydomain.net. IN A 123.456.789.100 4. Tell the resolver that your domain is mydomain.net with the following line in /etc/resolv.conf: search mydomain.net That should do it. At this point, your machine is in no way associated with your old mymachine.ispdomain.net name. If all you really wanted to do was have people access your web server at http://mymachine.mydomain.net/, then things could be made a little simpler-- basically skip steps 2 and 4, and change the A record in step three to a CNAME records that points to mymachine.ispdomain.net.

We'll call it static.domain.name.net. I want to exchange traffic for mymachine.domain.net (I own domain.net). There is only one IP address, and this is one potato box that is running bind.
