  Hi,

  I manage some sites using FreeDNS.Affraid.org DNS.
  Will validation of the domain work having it on that DNS?
  Which IPs do I have to set forwarding to?

  I’m not sure how this relates to wordpress.com blogs. Can you provide more specifics please. http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/11/10/domain-mapping/

  Won’t work I’m afraid. You have to make the wordpress.com nameservers be authotative (how ever you spell it) for the domain in question and that means using the DNS here at wp.com.

  Only think you can do is have the domain in question act as a CNAME for your wp.com url and have it redirect. You’re still going to have to pay the ten bucks for the domain mapping though.

  Either that or just point your affraid.org url to your wp.com url.
