My suggestion is to master this first, it's fairly easy if you follow each step, one by one. I did that and it works. Then once you're happy as a clam with setting something up successfully, (warm fuzzy feelings are great!) there is the next step in setting up a name server there as well. The second builds on the first, so just take your time, do as it says, and you'll be in good shape afterwards rewarded with something that works. Piece O' Cake. Enjoy and Welcome.
