DNS configuration using Granite Canyon?

[Geoff Maddox]

Hi all,
I'm a webmaster with sort of beginning experience working with DNS
servers. I'm using Granite Canyon to do my DNS serving (if anyone has
any experience with it), becuase it's free. I've altered my information
on Network Solutions to point to my Granite Canyon servers (Primary and
Secondary) and set up the DNS so that it points to my DNS. The DNS
server is supposedly set up to point at my servers IP address. Now, I
tried to check my page, but it doesn't work. Any one have any
suggestions as to what I can do to fix it? I've checked the DNS entry
and it looks good. Any help with definitely be appreciated.

Here's a thought. Maybe you shouldn't be hosting a commercial site
using Stanford bandwidth? Your site pyretic.com, i.e.,
pyretic.stanford.edu is a rather blatant violation of the Stanford
University Acceptable Usage policy when it comes to commercial
activity. It has been noted and reported.

Thank you for your patronage of net.internet.dns.policy...

I've taken the website off. I didn't know that I couldn't do that
considering I'm using my own computer to do the web serving. Thanks for
pointing it out.

You may want to review the above at some point. Don't they give people
pointers to it when they're first admitted? It may be your computer, but
you're still using the university network and domain name.

(3) Commercial Use -

University information resources should not be used for commercial
purposes, except in a purely incidental manner or except as
permitted under other written policies of the University or with the
written approval of a University officer having the authority to
give such approval. Any such commercial use should be properly
related to University activities, take into account proper cost
allocations for government and other overhead determinations and
provide for appropriate reimbursement to the University for taxes
and other costs the University may incur by reason of the commercial
use. Users also are reminded that the "EDU" domain on the Internet
has rules restricting or prohibiting commercial use, and thus
activities not appropriately within the EDU domain and which
otherwise are permissible within the University computing resources
should use one or more other domains, as appropriate.

(The last sentence of the above is my sneaky way of being on-topic, yes.)
