RE: Apache configuration question

["Bob Cozzi" <cozzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Paul,
In the future, use GoDaddy.com they're now the bigger Registrar out there.
I've moved all my old Register.com stuff over to them now and its been cheap
and easy ever since. And you won't need to use ZoneEdit!

OK, I don't see anything on Domain Direct that allows me to specify a CNAME 
or A record.

I do have "Advanced Options" that allow me to specify my servers - but I 
guess that means that I would need to be running my own DNS.

I am having a look at ZoneEdit (thanks Nathan)
