Re: Home DNS Server?
It's quite possible to do this - my own site is served by a home-brew DNS server. What you need to do first is through your registrar set your internet connection's IP address as your domain's nameserver. Then you need to tell your router to forward port 53 (the DNS lookup port) to your DNS server, which should be configured to deliver your internet connection's IP when it receives a lookup request for your domain. However, as far as I know, you can't specify a port in DNS for a given domain (and shouldn't have to).
