I'm interested in setting up and providing my own DNS services for public use. I have two separate server machines and can easily put an extra NIC card or two in any machine, if required. What would it take to create such a service like ZoneEdit or EveryDNS?

I know I'd probably need to register 2+ static IP addresses thru Comcast and open a whole host of ports on my router. How would I set this up in terms of software? Is BIND the right tool for the job with a control panel in Usermin/Webmin?

Any recommendations, links or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

If you want to offer this as a service you really need to have at least 2 geographically separate servers... also, I think you should know DNS inside-out, try the book on Zytrax - http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/

cheers
