Do you wan to run your own DNS?   Is your home on a static or dynamic
IP?

I have a domain I purchased at godaddy.com and I was using free hosting
at 1and1.com, but I want to just put the site on my server at home.
Here's the delimma.  GoDaddy will do DNS if you use one of their hosting
plans or if you just want to park a domain, otherwise you have to
provide your own DNS.   When I was trying to build a site at 1&1 I was
using their DNS, but I switched it back to just a parked domain at
godaddy until I figured out what I wanted to do.

Any recommendations as to where I can get free DNS to point mydomain.com
to my home IP?   I already know how to setup the firewall to redirect
port 80 to the webserver.  I previously used dyndns.org for a free
subdomain account, but they charge about 24.95/yr for basic DNS of your
own domain.  That's a bit much for something I'm just screwing around w/
at home.    I also want to be able to direct the MX.
