Setting up a DNS Server with Dynamic IP
Is there any way I can set up a DNS server which holds the A's and MX's records for my domain name using a dynamic IP address?

Currently I DO have a Dynamic DNS Service running but this does not allow me to have a DNS server which I can give the IP to my Domain name registrar.

All replys would be appreciated
I am new to DNS so please be gentle

mr frog is right. While the generic dns help post does describe how dynamic IP + dns server can work with the help of a 3rd party, for all practical purposes, you can't host a dns server on a dynamic IP address.
