[lug] Domain Hosting..

[Timothy C. Klein]

Nate,

I might be interested in your offer.  Also, I could try and return the
favor for others.  I, too, have DSL, but currently don't really know much 
about DNS.  I would need to learn before I could help.  Oh yeah, my IP is
also static.  I have registered silverklein.net but don't currently have
any DNS pointed to it.  My ISP does email forwarding for free.  But they want
5 or 7 bucks a month to do DNS, and a one time fee of 20 buck or the like.

So where should I go to get up to speed on DNS?

Anyone else interested.

Tim
