Dennis,

Being in Holland and hosting behind a DSL line is a bit of a shame.
I know there are a few colo-hosts that will host a 1 U machine for 15 euro a 
month, so unless you have created your BQ host in a PC tower, this would be 
an ideal way to run your own dns (and have the host be secondary for you)
