your about to enter DNS hell. I'm already there. You need to get your fixed IP resolved to your domain name, and reverse look-up if you've got an ftp server. You also need an MX entry if you want to set up mail for user@yourdomain.com

The Simple way:
Make someone else do it for you. See if your ISP will add an SOA file and an entry in their /etc/named.conf file. Maybe they will, maybe they'll blow you off.

Complex way:
Do it locally. You need info. see http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/DNS-HOWTO.html to see what you're about to step in to.

I've got a friends server with DNS set-up to resolve mine, but I should be the "authoritative" server doing it.
I'm trying to do it on Mandrake 7.2 with limited success so far. I'll give you the gory details when I get it working.

--luck to us both
