Thanks a lot.

i though i just need to set up DNS server for queries in internet.

it seems it is not as easy to set up a DNS (internal LAN) server as to setup
a DNS (external internet) server.

Thanks for a prompt reply.

do you mean Registrar = DNS service (Windows 2003)? or i need to buy
another software?

No, Herb means Registrar= GoDaddy, Network Solutions, Register.com or even
cheapdomains.com (I don't know if the last one really exists as a
registrar,
it is just an example)


Can i use the DNS services in Windows 2003?

Of course you can, but you better know exactly what you are doing, you
could
end up with a domain name that resolves just fine on you local network,
but
can't be accessed from the internet. (This has happened a lot since
Microsoft made DNS easy to manage.)
Easy to manage is not the same as easy to understand.
