I recently purchased a domain name from znetindia. Now I don't have any Server Host, where I can place my Static HTML file, so I placed 开发者_开发知识库them in public folder of Dropbox.

Because of this I wish to point my newly brought up domain name to a long file path provided by dropbox public URL like:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2025503/servers/Experimental%20projects/letstartup.net/index.html

And I have following options in my domain name page from where I brought it:

DNS will only allow you to specify a different hostname or IP address for your domain name; you cannot use DNS to specify a different URL. (DNS is used for lookups for smtp, imap, ftp, sftp, ssh, telnet, imap, sip, dns, dhcp, irc, xmpp, nfs, cifs, etc. -- far more than just web browsing.)

Many registrars / hosting providers will run a web server on a host for you that can immediately issue an HTTP 301 response to an URL of your choosing. My registrar, Gandi, has placed these controls under a "web forwarding" heading. They will run a webserver that will respond to all requests for your domain with an appropriate HTTP redirect code to an URL of your choice.

I do not know if ZNetIndia provides a "web forwarding" option -- certainly none is visible in the screenshot you included, but that isn't a surprise, because managing DNS is different than managing web forwarding requests. If they don't provide web forwarding as an option, then you can certainly get a super-cheap webhost that can either perform redirects as you wish, or provide you directly with hosting.
