soa.granitecanyon.com- New Question

[RayDe]

To begin I would like to commend and thank the people who contribute
their time effort and resources to the public dns.

I am quite new to this aspect of the business, and I'm finding it to be
a rewarding if not frustrating experience.  I'm trying to serve a small
site from my dsl connection and though I was able to successfully update
the zone record this morning I'm a little confused about a couple of
points.



1. Network Solutions is currently serving an 'under construction page'
for our domain.  After successfully navigating the not too challenging
granitecanyon.com zone procedure; do I have to notify network solutions
of the change? I fear we have a conflict.

2. I would appreciate a critique of the zone record I submitted to
granitecanyon.com, I was curious as to  how far off I managed to be
after my all weekend 'full immersion in dns'.

it is as follows:

buildershardware.net.  IN SOA ns1.granitecanyon.com. ray.intertrick.org.
IN  RP   ray.intertrick.org.     ( 69154405 10800 3600 604800 43200)


     ; Name Servers
buildershardware.net. IN NS ns1.granitecanyon.com.
buildershardware.net. IN NS ns2.granitecanyon.com.
     ; Addresses for canonical names

buildershardware.net. IN A 216.103.84.229
localhost.buildershardware.net. IN A 127.0.0.1

; Aliases
www.buildershardware.net. IN CNAME buildershardware.net.
ftp.buildershardware.net. IN CNAME buildershardware.net.
mail.buildershardware.net. IN CNAME buildershardware.net.

(only E-mail confirmation of submission not zone update)


As I stated earlier,  I have:

a dedicated IP address (216.103.229)
a registered domain (buildershardware.net)

And I am hopeful of

Pointing our domain to my address
add additional host names?
Receive mail to our domain

One big question remains;
Is this too much for a guy who spent 21 years rattling gears and his
brains driving a semi arround the Bay Area? It remains to be seen.

Thank you,
