This has to be the most compilcated subject to me. I just purchased a new domain from godaddy. I have a few questions I am not totally clear about yet.
1. I have adelphia cable internet. I would like to get a dyndns or no-ip.com account to have a static IP for my new godaddy domain. Simple enough. However, I would like to also do my own DNS to learn more about it. Will I be able to do this if I set my nameserver on godaddy to my box's dyndns address? And from there can I set up A records, MX Records, etc and all that good stuff?
2. What about reverse DNS? Could I possibly do that on my box?
3. I would also like to run my own mailserver for that domain (again to learn). Would I be able to do this and send receive email from/to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I know most ISPs block port 25 and no-ip.com has a pay service called mail reflector that can get around this. Is this necessary? Why couldn't I just set up sendmail to use a port other than 25 like 8080?
I don't know the situation in your country. But here in germany you can rent a lowend dedicated server for about 40 $/month. With static IP and mostly with one or more domain-names.
With such a server you can do all what you want without the problems coming from the dynamic IP.
Perhaps that'll be an alternative for you.
