This is how we are setup. First you type in our Domain name.(Gatorhardware.com) It them forwards to our 3rd party DNS server. (ghhome.gotdns.com) or (4de.gotdns.com). Then that forwards to our IP. The problem is when you visit us you see our DNS address. I can mask the domain name but when google keeps crawling it it doesn't go any further then the masking so it index's us by the domain meta tags. Other then setting up our own DNS servers this is the only way we can run our own web servers. What this is doing though is causing google to index us by our domain name and the dns names. So all of our sub pages are getting indexed under the dns names. Is there anyway around this?
Any help that anyone can give would be great!

I did a search for "gator hardware" on Google and could not find you on the first three pages.

Check out ZoneEdit (www.zoneedit.com) The first 5 domains are free, and I've been very happy so far. It's your own DNS server, and it sounds like it works better than your current setup.

Yeah I got us to #1 under Custom Centrino Laptops but can't show up under our own name. 
Thank you for the advice on zoneedit. I have been meaning to check them out.

I will use ultradns for DNS :http://www.ultradns.com/
They have Microsoft and Oracle as customer. You might know how hard to make Microsoft and Oracle to agree same thing.
It is fast (20% faster than BSD BIND DNS which has 90.00% market share)
and its price is very fair too. go find out yourself.
my 1.5 cents
BTW for SEO Purpose the best DNS server will DNS server hosting for google.com, but google is hosting DNS server for itself, I guess we are all out of luck. go ultradns!
my 0.5 cents
warning if you do go with ultradns please DO NOT mention you hear this from sonnyyu. due to I ask so many tech detail before sign on. They might think so do you.

You are right, Sonny,
UltraDNS is an excellent DNS system - very appropriate for almost any business. I like ZoneEdit because of the cost (and I've had a good experience) but I would never fault someone on Ultra - as a matter of fact they were and are my backup plan as far as DNS is concerned.
The good thing about both of these services (or one like them) is that you don't have one, but 2 DNS servers, and they are almost always in separate facilities (and often opposite sides of the country). This makes them far more reliable than running the DNS on your own server or trusting your local ISP.
Additionally, they offer things like load-balancing and round robin, automatic failover (if your host goes down your domain is re-routed to a different server - like a cheap or free host with either a copy of your site or a "technical difficulties" page)
My favorite part is it makes it really easy to switch hosts
