do i hafta be my own nameserver to do that? (i am, but i'm
asking if it's necessary.) or if i wanted to be a node off
my isp's zone: "mynode.isp.com" how much cooperation do i need
from the isp? and what files do i need to update to reflect
that?

i think this may be the crux of what i'm after...
with my public zone (dontUthink.com) and a private zone (keep.out)
and my own forwarding name-server relying on my isp (morons-r-us.goof)
what should my resolv.conf be like?

i've got the IP number scheme down pretty well:
192.168.1.1 eth0 == 208.33.90.85 eth1, same debian box
but i'm wondering about NAMING schemes:
the internet sees only dontUthink.com at 208.33.90.85; at the other
end of the linux pipe is 192.168.1.1 which services my intranet cpu's
at 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.200 as firewall and ipmasquerading router.
what standardization is there for naming, say, 192.168.1.100 in this case?
bubba1.dontUthink.com? offshoot.private.net? something.else.entirely?
what ramifications are there for naming private INTRAnet ip's as
1) part of the public internet zone
2) separate from the internet zone
?
and where do i set these names?
