DNS, Nameservers and Virtual Hosting
This may be a simple question, but I imagine it has a complex solution. I admit that I really don't know where to begin, but here it is...
I am running a server on a static IP. For some time, I have been using a domain host that allows me to "point" the domain to another address. I now changed services to a domain host that only has listings for name servers. I don't know how to "point" to my computer.
I am running Linux and Apache. In Apache I have several Virtual Host accounts set up. These work using the old "Point to Address" method. Can I make them work using nameservers?
How do I set up a nameserver on my machine? Or, is that even what I want to do?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much. As soon as I added the IP addresses of my Domain's nameservers to the resolv.conf file, everything worked fine. A terrific answer, and very timely!
