I currently own about 20 domains. They are registered through Domain Name
Systems (domainnamesystems.com). They are currently hosted elsewhere. I
would like to create the Name Servers ns1.jabtech.com and ns2.jabtech.com. I
own jabtech.com. I will then list my other domains in these name servers. I
have plenty of PCs kicking around and I will have 2 available IPs to run
them on. I may install Win 2k server or I may use Linux and , from what I've
been reading on the web, Bind. I just can't seem to figure out how to do
this. I've found a service that will provide Name Servers for me, but at
$25/domain/year. Rather than spend $500 a year, I thought that if it was
easy enough, I'd do it myself.
