Setting up one DNS server is little different than setting up a second. Spend $50 or so and register a second domain. Perhaps a personal domain. Perhaps the .org equivalent of your_company.com. Get that running... When that works and all makes sense, do the same for the farm. Use the tester domain for experimentation, backup MX and as a secondary DNS for your_company.com. For example when you update to FC2 you do not want the primary DNS(SOA) mail server etc... to be upgraded first. Make it clear to me why you need to bother? The need for backup name services and other stuff make most of the services out there worth the money. -- T o m M i t c h e l l mitch48-at-sbcglobal-dot-net
