I have been looking all over the place for answers and I guess I don't quiet get it. For over a decade I ran a server from godaddy and when I got it, it was pretty easy to setup domains. I first just set up a nameserver entry. I have tons of domain names and I have one I just use for dns and other business things. So I made ns1.oeschool.net and ns2 and so on. Now I have decided to run my own mac server on my mac at home. My ISP won't give me a fixed address, in Japan they just want to hack your wallet, and they are also blocking port 80. I bought a Custom DNS and set it to the DNS updater then pointed a zone to :8888 (also set that up on my mac). It works (doesn't look pretty) but that is fine. My question is, I can find plenty of info on how to set up a site and zones and such but how to I use that custom DNS as a nameserver for my server? My domain name are registered by another party but they let me setup any NS pointing I want. And, once I get it pointed, does anyone know what dns zone is best in my mac to set it to to point it to the right domain?

Do not use comments for responding. This has no reliable notification. As I said, you cannot use ports with DNS records. You must specify the port when connecting to a site, e.g.

"I bought a Custom DNS and set it to the DNS updater then pointed a zone to :8888" You can't point a zone to a port. Zones/Domains and ports are related in no way. "how to I use that custom DNS as a nameserver for my server?"
Pretty much documentation, isn't it? "does anyone know what dns zone is best in my mac to set it to to point it to the right domain?" Same as with ports, DNS is not related to OSes. Here is a general guide about how to reach your network from outside. You will see and not find any OS specific things there. Sorry, I meant to say that I added an A record to port 8888 since my ISP blocks port 80. All of the documentation is for setting up a single site.... I have 8 sites on my windows server and want to move them to my office server sitting in my office since my windows server is located in Arizona and my office is in Japan. I'm sorry if I am a beginner at this. There are a lot of strange bumps along the way that I would think someone has had and has a some advice.

As RotBliz has already said - don't use comments since there is no reliable notification. Yes, you have to buy one Custom DNS package for each domain. There is a business package being launched, though we don't know what form that'll take beyond what DynDNS have published. It may be worth looking at.

Note that there's nothing special about hosting multiple web sites on a single IP address - any vaguely modern web server platform will support virtual hosting, which is what you need. To avoid the issue of people having to know to use So I do have to have a custom DNS for each domain I have??? that is what I was wondering. I was hoping I could have just used a single Custom DNS (since I don't use that site anyways) and that domain just be my servers...
