I have a domain name hosted by an ISP and a home network. This is what I have done:
- set up the home network as "home.mydomain.com"
- configured a full DNS on my linux server for "home.domain.com" following the
examples in the DNS Howto, the "DNS and BIND" book and the article "DNS for the Home
Network" in Linux Gazette (www.linuxgazette.com). This references the external
nameserver of my ISP in cases of difficulty
- set up IP masquerading
- configured sendmail using a utility I found on www.freshmeat.com (sorry - I'm not
running Linux at the moment to give you the package name). The mini Howto
"Sendmail-Address-Rewrite" gives the general principles
- installed popd and imapd for the local clients
- set up fetchmail to retrieve mail from the ISP.
This gives the sort of local client access I think you're looking for. My biggest
problem was stopping sendmail bringing up a dial up link for DNS queries - but since
you're lucky enough to have a cable modem I guess that's no problem ;-)
