Len,

Why must I run my own DNS?  My provider has offer to run both Primary
& secondary DNS for me.  I just e-mail them the hosts and IP addresses for the
domain and they will set it up.  They also do a MX record.

I will most likely need my own DNS server in the future, but for now
the only host I have is a mail host.
