DNS Help

This will probably work.  I just couldn't think of anything and like to use recommended services.  
I'll look at both of the below setups and see what is easiest to use.   My dyndns subdomain has 
expired as I was not updating the records.   I could probably have set it to static, but forgot.   
I think I have heard of zoneedit.com, but not much more than the name.

JA Riley recommended gandi.net.  I'll look at that too.

Thanks everybody,
Brian

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.

I currently use www.zoneedit.com which is free as long as the DNS traffic isn't too high.  There is 
also www.granitecanyon.com which is a truely free DNS service.

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 dilemma.  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.
