More than I can bite off...

Thanks Drew
Well -- I have a web server, both   my-home-domain.com  as well as a 
couple of virtuals....can I just "host" the hysl.org and then re-direct it 
to the geocities page ?   I don't know that I'm willing to open up my 
webserver to someone else yet, and they had no desire for me to host.  Is 
the question then more appropriate for an apache forum ?  (i.e. how do I 
take any request for hysl.org and forward to 
http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Bench/5991/?)

To the best of my knowledge, you can't do this strictly through DNS.
You'd have to point the domain name to a valid HTTP server somewhere and
then you could set that up to redirect to the Geocities page.  Of course
if you were running your own web server, you could just host the page
there...

I've probably got too big a bite to chew (and no bark to follow it
up)...
Situation

I have a working DNS for my home domain and two virtual domains.  A
friend 
of mine had the youth soccer site hosted with another guy that left the 
area (with his DNS).  I said, no problem, I could host his DNS.  Except,

now, it's not obvious to me...

The web:

My domain/name server:    dns1.my-home-domain.com
 
The soccer domain   http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Bench/5991/

Question - what do I need to add to my name server, so that www.hysl.org

points to the soccer domain? My friend has control with the registrar to

change the name server to point to me...but I'm now unclear if I can do 
just DNS...  Suggestions ?  What do I need to do, what does my friend
need 
to do ?
