You can Tom, but IMO, it is not worth it. Small users may normally have
2-4 public records, that is it. You have 4 from the sound of it (not
counting soa and ns, etc.) Setting up *two DNS servers with window and
configuring them and backing them up and all the other money you will throw
at it, it is just not worth it for 4 records - unless you have a very
special need. Go with register.com or godaddy.com as registrar (or use one
of some other million) They give you free updates to these records with the
cost of your domain registration fee. They take care of both servers, the
backups, etc, etc. You just web-into them when you need to change a record
and done. Then get yourself a hosting account for $5/mth at
www.webhost4life.com and get your email and web site up a day or so. Now
your cooking and don't have to worry about tripping over your power cords on
your servers on the floor. :-) Cheers!
