I've registered a domain through godaddy.
I'd like to host this on my webspace/cgi, but would ideally like to for various reasons not use plusnet for nameservice.
Is there any way to setup my webspace, or CGI space, so I can simply point a domain at the IP of the web/shell server, and have it 'just work' ?
(I'd like to use SPF, so I can specify hosts that are authorised to send mail, which as I understand it plusnet doesn't yet allow, and also have some flexibility in case my plusnet account goes wrong for any reason.)
Thanks!

I assume by webspace/ccgi you mean your plusnet webspace and not your own web server running on your ADSL line.
In order to use a domain on your PN webspace it must be hosted and known to plusnets name servers.
PlusNet do not support SPF on their nameservers.

PN has 2 of my domains in their hosting records but my nameservers are pointed to DNS records hosted by www.dnsmadeeasy.com These contain A records that point back to PN.
I also have added SPF records for my mailserver as well as the IP addresses for PN mail servers as I have to use these to send to AOL and Hotmail accounts.

Then you are fortunate and at some point your domains will be removed as they don't exist in PNs name servers.
