Yes. I've had a look and your DNS is provided by Bytemark. If you email
their support they can supply you with a script that will allow you to
set up your own DNS entries[1]. Once you have that script you just need
to add something like the following to your config file and run the
script to make it work:

+newforest.free-map.org.uk:80.68.89.163:86400
