	I do believe that you won't be able to do this without a full
nameserver.  This means you should also look into owning the
'myoffice.com' domain to avoid conflicts later.  If you're an office of
a larger company, they probably already have a something.com domain, and
you'll need to be in a myoffice.something.com subdomain.

Have fun (if at all possible),
