I think it would be impossible for you to set up an authoritative DNS server
behind the router of a simple DSL line due to the fact that you only have
one IP address. You need a primary nameserver and a secondary nameserver.
Each must have their own unique IP address. Even though you could use
another secondary name server with a different IP address, you still need
another IP address than your DSL line. I suppose it is possible to get
multiple IP addresses for a single DSL line, but it's going to cost you.

Hi Gerald & others
the problem next to the virtual host issue is that how do I enable it
trough DNS
1. I am a simple 'end-user' running 20+ sites from a simple DSL line
behind a DSL router
so I have had to make some tweaks using the server behind the router
like this for HTTP
# owned by VirtualHost
# NameVirtualHost 213.84.24.174:80
# FrontPage needs the following four things to be here
# otherwise all the vhosts need to go in httpd.conf, which could
# get very large since there could be thousands of vhosts
ServerRoot /etc/httpd
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.100>
ServerName www.slagers.org
etc..
the Problem is: how do I enable in a simple way the DNS. Right now the
DNS server is disabled, but I can enable it and my port 53 is open
but how do I get the DNS registered as valid DNS server? Does it take
some time? I have searched my ass off to find some info about it
Cause when I check for dns server I see that the root servers do not
know me . .
as long as the DNS is not updated correctly with the VHOST option like
Brians Solution it is not usable for me at all, so any hint on this
would be appreciated.
