Domain not yet mapped??

    I'm having a problem and was hoping you could help me. I have a box
(209.35.120.1) and a domain (nowwire.com). What I want to do is - setup DNS
so that I can name my box nowwire.com and make nowwire.com a nameserver. But
my problem is this: If I want my box to be called nowwire.com, the
nowwire.com nameserver at InterNIC has to be nowwire.com. However, if I
don't have the domain nowwire.com pointed to my NS (because it's not setup
yet because I want the name nowwire.com), I can't give the nameserver the
name nowwire.com. Catch 22? That's what it seems like to me! A solution
seems to me is to not name the nameserver temporarily (just keep it at
209.35.120.1, no mapped hostname) and register it under InterNIC, but can
that be done? As far as I know you need a hostname for your NS too to
register it.

Thanks!
