Help With Home Server

[Madison Kelly]

When you register your domain (domain.com/ca) you will have to specify 
which DNS servers will have the zone of authority (ZOA, IIRC). Whatever 
that server specifies is what will go. I do not believe you -have- to 
tell Istop, as they should see that domain as a seperate entity from 
what they have recorded (jay.tor.istop.com). You can have multiple DNS 
names for one machine.

All this said, please differ if someone answers with more authority than I.
