Yes. I have changed / set up a Domain Name Server. The "name" of the
computer is irrelevant. You could call the machine "Joe" if you wanted to.
As for the DNS Server, many people like to use the convention of
NS1.MYDOMAIN.COM (Name Server #1 etc) as a way of identifying it. Then you
would go to the InterNic (ex: Network Solutions) and register that as a Name
Server. DNS is managed by creating a host record that points a domain name
to an IP Address (this would be available externally or internally depending
on what you set up). When you set up host records you would typically set
up one for www and one without www (so you can get to the site from either
www.mydomain.com or just mydomain.com). Then you would set up your mail
servers (MX Records) such as mail.mydomain.com and so forth.

Once the DNS Server is set up you would go into the database record of the
domain name (again with your internic registrar such as GoDaddy, Network
Solutions or whoever you use) you would put in the name of the DNS
Server(s). Once that happen you would start and restart the DNS server to
propagate it. As long as the DNS Server is running when you type in
www.mydomain.com it should take you to the correct place. Otherwise you
have a DNS problem. If you named the DNS Server with www then yes, you can
expect issues. Personally, I would change it all so that everything is set
up correctly.
 
This is the only msg (sorry guys) that I thought I or he would understand
