hopefully someone here can answer what i think is my final confusion about this darn raq server. grin.

dns... i've seen several posts. If I activate dns, and lets say I've got 1 IP, and it points to http://www.domain.com host on the server. I activate DNS service, and add the records. Do I simply enter the primary info of my server name of http://www.domain.com and IP address as the record for the registration? Will NIC require a secondary server for the registration?

I think yes, you have to have one primary, and one secondary domain name server. Both require there own unique Ips. Without this, you wont be able to register your DNS.
