I obtained static IPs from my ISP and registered a URL with Networksolutions. My ISP will only allow one Domain for all five user assignable IP addresses. I want to host multiple Domains. My ISP registered their name servers (primary and secondary) for my URL. Can I set up my own DNS on my web server and then change the entry up at network solutions to point to my name server. Or, does the DNS have to be upstream in order for it to work. Is there any way to make this work. Or, can I just register the new Domains and then list my web server as the DNS (primary and secondary).

You could run your own DNS server, but you would need another one to be able to register the domain to your computer. I recommend using DYNDNS. Find it at it will do the job for you. You can run the web server on your computer, and not have to worry about DNS servers.
