Domain Help

I have the domain myleetpc.com through yahoo domains. I also have a Fedora Core 3 server. So when I try to add an A Record through yahoo's site if I type anything in that isn't just a lone ip address it rejects the request. So if I wanted say mail.myleetpc.com to point to ipaddress/webmail It won't allow it. So my question is can I somehow make Fedora core 3 control these whateveriwant.myleetpc.com names. And if so HOW?

DNS A records can only point to IP addresses.

You will need to set the A record for mail.myleetpc.com to point to your IP address and then set up a virtual host for your mail in your webserver configuration.

Assuming you are using apache:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/

THANKS, I got it working. All I needed was to be pointed in the right direction. Then it was all playing with and understanding config files from there. Thanks again.
