or use dyndns.org and powerdns.com together.  create the dyndns.org (or
whichever domain you choose from them), tie it to your IP and then on
powerdns.com you tie your domain to the dyndns domain.  Powerdns allows
for at least one MX record, I believe and three A records for free.  If I
am wrong on how to use those two services, sorry in advance all.

DNS Help

I have a domain I purchased at godaddy.com and I was using free hosting at
1and1.com, but I want to just put the site on my server at home.   Here's
the delimma.  GoDaddy will do DNS if you use one of their hosting plans or
if you just want to park a domain, otherwise you have to provide your own
DNS.   When I was trying to build a site at 1&1 I was using their DNS, but
I switched it back to just a parked domain at godaddy until I figured out
what I wanted to do.

Any recommendations as to where I can get free DNS to point mydomain.com
to my home IP?   I already know how to setup the firewall to redirect port
80 to the webserver.  I previously used dyndns.org for a free subdomain
account, but they charge about 24.95/yr for basic DNS of your own domain.
That's a bit much for something I'm just screwing around w/ at home.    I
also want to be able to direct the MX.
