Since the DNS's of my ISP is constantly going down, I want to set up my own using BIND (except if you have any other recommendations). The problem is that all howtos I've found is based around having a domain, which I don't. Is this a prerequisite of running a DNS, or can you use a bogus domain (like youareamunch.kinlloyd which probably isn't already in use) or perhaps just your IP? Another question: Do you recommend chrooting BIND?
