Out of curiosity, why are you looking to do this? As long as you have full control over DNS at your registrar, there is no real need to host your own DNS.
In addition, if COX is your Cable connection - and is a personal (residential) account, hosting web, mail, etc. is probably against their TOS. If it is a business connection, you may have some flexibility. My Flashbackalternatives.com domain is with GoDaddy. My website is on a dedicated server at FDC. My e-mail is hosted by Google (using Google Apps - great service). I control all of this through the DNS panel at GoDaddy, with the only thing needed from FDC was for them to add a reverse DNS PTR. Quick, easy, and no need to host my own DNS. As an aside, with Google Apps, there is also no need to host my own mail server, which I was doing. It is a branded service, with full POP, SMTP, and IMAP along with Web Mail access. One less thing to worry about.

That would be way out of my price range. If I host my own servers I will have full control and won't have to deal with this again. Also, I have a Cox Business account and I can run servers. I already have them setup and can access them all via my IP address. I have control over my domain at my registrar so I could make changes there. I was hoping to run my own DNS server but if that is not possible I guess I could use my registrar. So, is that the case? I am not able to host my own DNS server like I wanted? If not, I guess I have to do the reverse DNS pointer?
