Re: Q about DNS for 'home' servers

["mark_harrison_uk2" <mph@xxxxxxx>]

Steve,

Given your DNS is already hosted by fasthosts, why not ask them.

Just drop an email to their techical support, asking them to set up
the additional "A Records".

If you give them a list of names and IPs to which you'd like those
names to point, they will hopefully just do this for you.

If they refuse, or want to charge money, then time to change.
Certainly my ISP (Rapidhoster) will set up additional A records for
me free of charge.

Regards,

Mark
