does new dns server need registry address present prior to accepting broadcast from my server

I set up my own dns server: it seems to be working fine according to the dns query on my own server.. dig gives me the right output and also axfr show the zone transfers..: no error messages from /var/log/messages> that was about 2 hours ago: now I went to my registrar and tried to change my dns settings to the site..but it wont take them.: do I need to have them 'force' the address or will their registry 'stuff'?' recognize my broadcast after a while and let the changes take place..?

I believe you may need to manually enter a Name Server record into your DNS.

it takes a bit of waiting.
if your DNS zone contained TTL of 1 week you have to wait a month for everything to sort out.

then you need your registrar/host to setup NS records pointing on your server
from skullnb: this was my solution: the registrar just needs to go in and start the process: they are the chicken and the egg...
