you can use the registrar you used to register Gorbatovsky.com
or if you're brave, you can use any dns server anywhere on the net

no .. oyu can name your machine anything you like ...
dmitry.Gorbatovsky.com or whatever
you will need your ip# ( say w.x.y.z ) for your ifconfig
you will need your gateway ( w.x.y.1 ) to the outside world for your
routes
you probably can live with 255.255.255.0 for your netmask
you probably can live with w.x.y.0 for your network address
you probably can live with w.x.y.255 for your broadcast address
if you have just 8 ip# or 1 ip# from your isp, oh well, first crawl
and than stand .. than defend your butt afterward
- hopefully your isp is protecting your butt with
the proper masking regardless of what you want to do
