Not so much a confilct, just all DNS traffic to the M10 will be bounced
inward through your pinhole to the address specified in the pinhole.

No big deal, just set your clients to use an external DNS server(s) at your
ISP.

Firstly you will need to register your domain, (see www.domainz.net.nz). You
will have to supply the primary and secondary nameservers for your domain.

Secondly you're probably better getting your ISP to run a secondary for you,
at least their servers are more likely to be up than someone else on an ADSL
link. If your server is authoritative you can make whatever changes and they
will replicate out. If you set the ttl's and refresh's judiciously, the odd
adsl outage won't matter too much.

If this is unfamiliar territory, you're probably better having your ISP
manage the whole thing. It shouldn't cost too much.

(Note the use of the term shouldn't! ;-) )
