Speakeasy, when I had them a few months ago at $work[-1], had no
restrictions on the type of servers you installed on your net.  Reverse DNS
for your range won't happen, though you *will* be able to do regular DNS
with zero problems.

No.  Setup your DNS server, point your whois info to it, and configure it to
serve your domian.  Setup your web server, start serving web pages.  Easy as
pie.
