ahh.. ok

The geek way:
If your home machine is on a static IP and is running some form of 
unix/linux, you can easily do this yourself.

My main domain, terrarum.net, does this.
What I did was go to the site where I registered my domain (in this 
case, dotster) and registered 2 nameservers, ns1.terrarum.net and 
ns2.terrarum.net (registering nameservers are a free service with most 
registrars). I pointed both of those to my static IP. Then I set my 
nameservers for terrarum.net to ns1.terrarum.net and ns2.terraum.net 
(also on dotster).

Finally, on terrarum itself, I run djbdns 
(*cough*bind*cough*bloat*cough*) with all the DNS records I need for 
any other domain I host on there plus subdomains. It works like a charm.

Another easy way:
The majority of registrars include free DNS hosting. Where you 
registered sugapablo.net, do they offer this?

Of course, if you find a decent free DNS service, let me know!  :)
