I'm still in the learning stages of Internet networking.  So a SMTP server 
somewhere that receives a message destined for drakkar.mhv.net will not 
find it in the DNS, so instead route it to mhv.net?  Would you not then 
have to be listed in your ISP's DNS?
I'd like to get my own domain name regardless, but the InterNIC procedures 
dictate that I get my ISP (@Home) to list me in their DNS before I can be 
listed in the root servers.  @Home is dragging on the issue.
