Newbie - But I've read a lot of the manuals

[Steven M. Klass]

Hey all
	First off I have successfully set up bind in a chrooted environment, and 
it works.  I have been using it for about two weeks now. :)

	My company Andigilog owns the domain www.andigilog.com. Currently our 
email (foo.andigilog.com) and web space (www.andigilog.com) is being hosted 
by earthlink.net.  We recently upgraded to full DSL, and are looking into 
shifting our mail to our local server.  So here's the problem.  How do I go 
about doing that.  Here is what I have come up with

1.  Get a Linux box acting as a firewall, running bind working.  Don't hook 
it in yet.  Make sure that it has the correct Bind db files so when I do 
hook it into the internet we are good to go.
	How can I test this without disturbing the planet?  (Notify NO??)
	How can I setup a reverse file if I have a full IP (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) and 
not a subnet (xxx.xxx.xxx.)?

2.  After successful implementation of that get qmail running on the machine.

3.  Contact Network Solutions and have the DNS numbers switched to me and 
my ISP.

Has anyone else done this (somebody must have) and would you be willing to 
help me out on this.  I really want to save my boss some money, and I am 
rpetty familiar with linux and MAN pages, but I still can always use the 
advice.

Thanks
