Right now, I have opened an account at zoneedit, and made DNS entries for
ilug-cal.info, and also requested PK to change the nameserver entries at his
registrar.

Mr. Mathew, will it be possible for DPS to do this?

Or is anyone willing to sponsor the above?
Else, I think going with zoneedit is the only option currently.

Is Mail Transfer Agent needed for ilug-cal.info? The site only needs to send
registration and notification emails, I think that can be done using DPS's
smtp servers.

For reverse DNS as far as I can understand, the ISP has to be informed, so
will the DPS has to communicate with the ISP?
