Hi,

just setup the host "ns" on the domain "bobbit.co.uk" in your dns and create
a virtual site "ns.bobbit.co.uk". The site can be empty and needs no space
(1 MB is the minimum on the raq2). Then restart your server (important!
don't ask why, but you need to do so). Then you can also use the host
"ns.bobbit.co.uk" as nameserver.

I suppose that the raq2 software does not require a special host name before
it accepts dns requests. The raq2 seems to simply listen on the dns port and
all incoming requests are answered. I don't know why you need to restart,
but this should be no problem.
