You don't really need this. Use your existing DNS server. All that is
required is a few entries in its database. Also, i doubt you need much
bandwidth. It will only get queried when someone runs the dns1 or dns2
tests.
Talk to the maintainers of kanin.arnes.si and ns.elsis.si. These are
your DNS servers. We don't require that much:
1) A fix IP address we know the name for and thats not going to change.
2) A CNAME record for the same IP address.
In fact you have this already:
lunn at biferten:~$ dig www.arnes.si
; <<>> DiG 2.0 <<>> www.arnes.si
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY , status: NOERROR, id: 6
;; flags: qr rd ra ; Ques: 1, Ans: 2, Auth: 3, Addit: 3
;; QUESTIONS:
;; www.arnes.si, type = A, class = IN
;; ANSWERS:
www.arnes.si. 3572 CNAME kanin.arnes.si.
kanin.arnes.si. 164133 A 193.2.1.66
1) kanin.arnes.si == 192.2.1.66
2) www.arnes.si is a CNAME which will return the IP address of 193.2.1.66.
So all we really need is the OK from your system administrators and to
check if they plan to move the web server to a different machine
sometime soon.
