DNS question for Windows 2003 Server

Hey everyone, I have a situation where I want host a few pages on a server at my home using WS 2003 Standard Edition. Let me explain my setup

I have obtained 3 static IPs from my ISP
My server is behind a Linksys Wireless router that also has four wired ports.
I have 2 Nameservers registered under my domain.

My question. What ip configuration should I have, do I enter two of my statics for the nameservers(domain host controllers) on my registrar?

Should the nameserver IPs point to my server IP or the router IP.

My router uses one external ip and one internal ip.

Thanks for any help.

And because I figure I will get asked why I want to use namesevers, its because some of the domains that I need to host will not accept ip addresses for nameservers. I need to have the authoritative DNS server for my domain so I can use my own nameservers.

Now I've made some progress - Heres what I can do now.

I can go to Kloth.net and do an nslookup and everything looks good. My server is showing as the authoritive server.

I can access a site on that server from within the network but from my mothers house the site still won't load. http://www.cfm-sc.com

I have the first nameserver set with one of my static ips which is the ip I set me router on. The other nameserver is using another of the static ips which right now doesn't point to anything. I have heard that even though its not advisable, I could set both nameservers to the same IP. Does anyone have anyideas? Thanks
