Home server

Hi,

I'll be testing my work on my home server which I have just setup. It is a Windows 2000 Server running SP3 patched up to date.

Firstly i'm not running anything commercial. It's just for development and testing so to speak. I have tried the search of these forums but didn't come up with much.

I have a 512k cable connection to my server.
I have one dynamic IP which changes every few weeks/months.
It will most likely not be possible to get extra IP's.

I have no problems getting Windows 2000/ IIS working but here is where I stumble...

In order to set some domains up I need to have DNS servers right? I see I can't do this with just one IP. This leads me to the thinking that I can setup another DNS Zone file for the site I wish to run at home, on my Cpanel/WHM resellers account. However I am not sure what DNS entries I need. My thoughts are I could run a service like DNS2GO perhaps thought I would ideally like to do this 'properly' i.e more like it would be in the hosting on most servers.

Let me know what you recommend. Perhaps any sites?

EDIT: I would also like to run mail but am not quite sure how to setup MS SMTP server on this connection

Thanks
