Hi Mario,

Thanks for the explanation. Yes I know about "complete"
hosted services, though I mostly use unmanaged.

All I needed to know (and was very dense in picking
up on) was that .null doesn't run a name server.
I've always just bought from registrars that do
and never gave it a second thought - that it
could be two separate things. Since Opennic had
appeared to me to be all about DNS I mistakenly
assumed incorrectly. Somehow what people were
saying didn't break through my thick skull. :)

And now I go back to the .null registration
page .... and I understand. I don't want to get
into setting up a DNS name server right now, but
that would be an educational project when I have
time. I've looked at bind and it doesn't look
hard. Anyway, for now I'll go out and search for
a free one somewhere.

Thanks,
       vv
