[NTLUG:Discuss] Registrars and DNS

[Swapan Sarkar]

I have a basic question related to domain names but
hope it is not stupid.

When I register for a domain name, the registry also
stores the DNS servers and their IP address which will
resolve the domain. Can it point to a static IP
address, which does not run a DNS server like
bind/djbns but resolves using /etc/hosts file and it
is inside an ISP domain. (ISP = home.com, mydomain =
domain.org) How will this server resolve the external
domain names (can it still keep the ISP DNS server for
resolution) ?

TIA
Swapan
