[cobalt-users] DNS startup



I'm not sure if I have missed anything here reading through the guides
and also asking questions to other people - but here is my situation.

My RaQ3 currently has no domain name assigned to it apart from
raq557.uk2net.com

I have enabled DNS in the control panel, but I have also read that I
should set up my own domain name servers such as ns.domain.com resolving
to the IP of my RaQ -  except I can't because I don't have a domain yet!
I don't think I can make a sub sub domain such as ns.raq557.uk2net.com
as its not my domain I am controlling.

I feel like I am in a catch 22 situation I need a domain name to have
domain name servers - I am not sure where to go from here.

I also know that the next stage when transfering another domain name
would be to give the domain holding company the name servers of my RaQ -
so this is where I am stuck. Should I have had an inital domain name set
up with this server?

Sorry if this is a very basic problem, but I am a very basic person :)
