It isn't DSL if it is cable modem. However, you can do it by running bind on your machine and opening incoming and out going 53/udp and incoming 53/tcp. You need a firewall setup correctly, which I won't help with :) Anyway, also, you need to set up bind to forward DNS requests to your ISPs nameserver (who probably doesn't particularily like you running services since you are on a cable modem -- see your AUP). You should take a look at the linux DNS HOWTO. Also, you IP address probably changes from time to time (since you use cable and most cable ISPs use DHCP to assign addresses), and thus the running of bind becomes problematic.

How can I run a DNS server on my Linux machine that will replicate itself from the DNS of my ISP and be contactable by other DNS servers? In other words, how can I directly host websites on my machines which will be contactable from outside? > > Regards > > > _______________________________________________ > Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota > http://www.mn-linux.org > tclug-list at mn-linux.org > https://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list >
