Troy; Before you can set up both domains, you need to have DNS running. Since you don't have a static IP address, you can't register your DNS server in the normal fashion, so you're going to have to use "EZ-IPupdate". It's located on the download CD's, so even if you have a commercial version of the CD's you should be able to find the RPM package for it and install it. Mandrake Control Center is good for that.
EZ-IPupdate will give you access to the sites below which will provide you with a domain name for free. Once you have that running, it will update the DNS servers at the site you chose, whenever your ISP changes your IP address. Even if you keep the IP address for a year and a half, they will eventually change it, and EZ-IPupdate will automatically contact the site and update your IP address, usually withing half a day. Here is a short list of the sites that offer the free service; http://www.ez-ip.net * http://www.justlinux.com * http://www.dhs.org * http://www.dyndns.org * http://www.ods.org * http://gnudip.cheapnet.net (GNUDip) * http://www.dyn.ca (GNUDip) * http://www.tzo.com * http://www.easydns.com * http://www.dyns.cx * http://www.hn.org * http://www.zoneedit.com Once you have that running, and they've given you a domain name, you can come back to the Mandrake List and I'll give you a hand with running both domains. In order to save time, you might as well install "BIND" while you're at it. We'll get to that later. It may take up to 2 or 3 days for your domain name from EZ-IPupdate to become vaild, so you'll have to be patient. While you're at it, have a look at some of the other ISP's in your area for an inexpensive DSL or ADSL provider. You might be surprised with what you find. There's one near my place that provides ADSL connections with static IP's for homes at $50.00/month, and that's a 3.5Mbps connection.
