home network - can you have a primary name server, or only a caching-only name server
i'm setting up a solaris 9 box to be my home network's DNS server. actually it's up and running, but it's set as a caching-only name server.

can i set it up to be the primary name server? what are the advantages if i can set it up to be a primary name server vs. a caching only name server?
