I don't see why not. Or you could look at the packag
Okay,
I stand corrected...
That presumably means that I could write my own dynamic dns script -
would just be a case of sending instructions to an external server to
update the zone for whatever the domain is I want to be hosted
locally?

tracert suggests that your machine thinks it's called jrh.co.uk not joshh.co.uk
Also you need BOTH nameservers to be pointing to your machine.
At the moment you appear to have the first nameserver set to
joshh.co.uk (and an IP) and the second nameserver set to
ns.123-reg.co.uk -- I suspect that t

Josh,
I suggest you read up a bit about hosting - Google for "domain
registration" and read what it says.
123reg's control panel allows you to change your nameservers to point
to your own server. That's what it's for. You also use it to renew
your domain registration every 2 years.
