How do I check this?  When I go to InterNic, spot.kerowyns-haven.com
is listed as the first name server.

Also, spot

Spot is my multi-talented Linux box that also acts as a router. 
204.120.158.68 is my internal network number.   I believe
204.120.9.248 is the IP number assigned to me by my ISP during my PPP
connect to them.  I have a static IP, dedicated 56K modem line to them.

I thought this was correct due to an example I saw in O'reilly's DNS
book.

Can you suggest any alternate configuration ideas?

Thanks!

Jen
