is it possible for me to use the name servers here at matrix to point a domain to a box i have here at my office?

if so, how would i go about it and if no, what are some good suggestions for a free dns service?

Not sure about that, but you could feasbly register the box at your office as a 3rd dns server and run it as a secondary zone and pull the info off the vortech dns servers. I've had to do a similar thing since moving my sites from my network to vortech. I was hosting in a 2k domain and i don't feel like redoing everything just yet. So i simply replicate dns for my zone from vortech.

I accomplished this by creating a Parked Domain within H-Sphere, and then creating A records that point back to a server with a dedicated IP in my office.

If you have a dedicated IP it is easy, just point and A record to it for the domain you want to be associated with that IP (subdomains work best)

so if the remote content is on shared ip differentiated by domain name, there is no way we can resolve this using Hsphere dns setting?



thanks....

What landiserve was referring to is that to set a DNS entry up the IP address of the machine your adding to your DNS must be static.

To resolve Web data from the remote machine you just need to make sure you have host headers setup correctly (should match the A record you've setup)
