Hi,
it's not very clever to host your own DNS. Simply ask your provider to do it, or use http://dyndns.org or, if you need a service for free, use http://xname.org

You can use EveryDns as a secondary DNS server so as to maintain your own primary.

Check out "DNS and BIND" from O'Reilly. Has everything you need to know (and more) about setting up DNS. Caveat: it is BIND-specific as to commands and syntax.
