I am in-progress with this with my DSL line.  I can very much
recommend being very patient.  Network Solutions has not been real
quick lately;  I'm not sure why.  I would recommend a two-step
process, where you first update things so you have one server on your
local network and leave the other elsewhere.  If your DNS gets goofed
up, no one can send you email which makes it very hard to respond to
the forms that Network Solutions generates.  

I'm about to begin looking for someone to be a secondary DNS server
for me, I would of course recipricate and be a secondary form them.
I'd be happy to help you set this up.  Sound good?
