You ought not do that. You friend is in *no way* authoritative for
the zone blah.net and *nor has anyone delegated that zone* to your friend.

... yes. Might be I got you wrong (?). Okay, assuming she *is* authoritative
for a certain zone, foobar.net and you want to be visible via ...
nslookup yourmachine.foobar.net
... too I cannot see a problem (she really should know) some confusion aside,
since a reverse DNS lookup will lead to *two* different results for some
time, depending which NS responds. In other words using the same address for
two different FQDN's just for fun ... you must not do that either 8)

In addition there is a MX record, for instance, for foobar.net ... now mail
sent to your machine will go to the mail exchanger for foobar.net of course
and so on and so on.

In other words, please do not mess around with the DNS, it might result in
things you cannot say anything about yet.

Technically it's quite simple if your friend is running the nameserver
for here domain. She then just needs to add one entry to the zone file.
But as she seems not to know how this is working she probably do not run
the nameserver herself and have to ask here ISP to adding such an entry.
Additionally you might want ask your ISP if this would be OK - don't
know you need to do so.

It does not need to be in the same network. But the reverse lookup will
gain another name then but that should be ok. Moving your IP into here
subnet is not a good idea but might be possible if you are connected to
the same ISP.

I don't mind messing with DNS, I just don't know exactly how to do it.
We don't really care if we totally*things up. It is not a business
domain... it's for personal use. The more we*up, the more we learn.

But thanks for the warning :)

Yeah she runs her own nameserver for her domain, but we are both pretty
new to this stuff.

We haven't tried adding a zone yet. The problem I have is this.
If someone in webland pings my static IP then my ISP (same as hers) knows
to route the packets directly to my machine, right. Now instead lets say
someone pings einstein.herdomain.com, HOW does my ISP know to route the
packets to me. Hmmm... yeah... I think you're right, my ISP would then
route packets to her b/c she has that domain. She would look in her
zone/hosts file and then bammo, hopefully they end up getting to me.
Hmmm.. seems I answered my own question..... oh well

We'll give it a shot.. thanks a million

Since the DNS is a distributed, worldwide, database some other people
might mind but I am giving up ...

einstein.herdomain.com will be translated into your static IP by the
nameserver of your friend. And everything works like normal. For routing
the IP numbers are used not any names. That names are only for the users
which can not remember all that numbers.
