I just recently purchased a domain name and am wondering on a few things. Which package would be best to create my own name server? A lot of places have it, but for an extra fee. Why pay when I have Debian is my slogan <grin>.

I have done some researching on BIND and have looked through a lot of it's docs and FAQs, but none to which really seemed to pertain to my individual situation/question. Excuse my choppy explanation, but I'll give it a whirl..

If I have myname.com and I register my IP as the DNS, what do I need to use to let the debian box resolve subdomains (server1.myname.com, server2.myname.com, etc etc) to the outside world. The second would also deal with firewall issuing. Since my main FTP/MAIL/WEB debian box is behind a SOHO firewall, is there anyway way to allow the DNS to resolve to internal IP's as well? For instance, a completely different box with a different internal IP running a completely different FTP/MAIL/WEB server?

Sorry if it sounds like babble, but that is about the best way I can explain it.

Thanks in advance.
