Are you saying you want to host your own public zone? Do you have the
minimal two DNS servers or are you trying to make NS1 and NS2 point to the
same IP address to fulfill the minimal requirements? I would let the ISP or
registrar host the zone. It is really too much trouble hosting DNS for
public records. Besides, I assume this is a domain controller too? Not a
good idea exposing one on the internet.

Anyway, if you want to, you already did the footwork. Now just create the
zone "newfiepride.com" in DNS, create your www and whatever else records you
require, and provide their external IP addresses. You will also need to
change the nameserver names and IP to only show the public IP in the zone
properties. But this is not good for AD.

Honestly, I wouldn't do it. I hosted 40+ zones for clients in the past and
it was a pain. I now let one of the registrars host them for the clients.

One more question: Curious, is the 24*.*.* a cable company IP address? Last
I heard, cable companies won't allow incoming port 53 requests.
