You’ll need to set up a free DNS hosting account at Zone Edit and go through the steps there of adding your new domain to their system. They will then give you two name servers (will look something like ns12.zoneedit.com) that you will need to enter at Melb IT in the primary and secondary fields of the hostname column and do the same with their corresponding ip addresses in the ip address column. Then back at Zone Edit you will be able to set the A record to the Tumblr supplied IP Address. If you have any troubles just email or twitter me. Also, next time: don’t buy domain names from Melbourne IT. Too expensive, lack of basic services, poor domain management interface, terrible support. TPP Internet are my fave .au domain registrar. Have used them for 6 years now and can not fault them on any level.
