I currently have a cable modem, but I want to (if it's not too pricey) run my own servers including DNS server. My cable provider currently doesn't offer static IPs so I have a dynamic. How would I go about setting up my own DNS? Would I do it through the cable modem? Wouldn't I have to buy an IP block and be the authority for it? I'm a little lost. :)
