Actually, I've already asked the provider and he was not willing to host 
for me. I was kind of hoping that there was a way around the minimum 
requirement for 2 DNS servers that somebody would know about (since the 
Network Solutions site seems to be full of hidden resources). I don't 
think I need the robustness of an additional DNS server because this 
server is going to be more of an experiment than anything else.

I don't want to pay for another service because I can easily make use of 
the Advanced Tools on the site to do the same thing.

Oh well, guess I'm stuck with the Advanced Tools for the time being.

Thanks and Regards,
