I have a stock Raq4i and I want to run my own dns server so that I can point domainname.com .net and .org to one virtual site instead of having to create additional virtual sites, also id like to foward the mail sent to those sites if it wasnt too much trouble. Is there a package that will allow me to do this? Im on rackshack.net and they want $20 setup fee + $2/month to add the additional domains to their name server...Any advice/overview?

BTW, I have been super happy with rackshack's service & support. It stinks they want to charge for this procedure which probably should be automated but they offer other support for free.

I'm not totaly sure I understand your question. Are you asking if there's a package that will allow you to run your own DNS on a RaQ? As a matter of fact, the RaQ has DNS already installed. You just need to turn it on, set it up, and register your DNS servers with your domain registrar.

This site has information on setting up DNS on a RaQ: http://www.raqresources.com/

In Site Management, under Site Settings you should be able to add domain.com, www.domain.com,domain.net,www.domain.net, etc under Web Server Aliases to get everything pointed to one virtual site. And under Email Server Aliases you'll probably want something like domain.com, mail.domain.com, domain.net,mail.domain.net.
It shouldn't cost anything to add domains to the name server. Go into member services on rackshack.net and use the DNS configuration.
