    I've a few domain names and I would like to host them by myself ( yes, my PC specs & internet connection is enough good for doing things like this - I already have an identical Linux server running and serving websites ).
    The problem is that .. I can't seem to find a way to setup my own NS servers.

    Would anybody be so kind and point me to the right direction ?

    you're going to need a DNS server (ie: bind9, or microsoft DNS).

    edit: also i wouldnt recommend doing this on Windows XP. servers should be ran on *nix based systems, but if you must use a windows o/s, use the Windows Server line. XP is for desktop usage.

    Awesome - I didn't really knew that bind9 is available on Windows :eek: Thnx !
    As per what you do not recommend - this is just a test. As previously said, I already have a Linux server running on the other room :)
