On the bright side, I have learned a great deal about how this process works. 1.) You need to register a Host with InterNIC. This is a form on their web site. This process can take several days to weeks, since they are updating their process, or translated, nothing is working quite right yet. 2.) Once you get confirmation of your host being added to the InterNIC database, you then need to then bring up your server with the domains loaded. If they are already registered on another DNS server, you will need to put in a Host Change Form to tell InterNIC that you are now hosting those Domains on this new host. Another thought: If you are already running another DNS server, is that machine registered with InterNIC? If so, why not just swap the IP address on that machine to the new machine? Hope this helps.
