How to name my own nameservers?

Question

I have 2 servers at my homeoffice, both connected to a router with internal IPs, router is connected to RoadRunner business line with 1 dedicated/static IP. Both of my servers have the MS DNS server installed. How can I assign them their own nameserver names so that I can start using them for hosting websites? I am currently using the registarar's name servers to point my clients' websites to my IP however I would like to see how i can have my own name servers. Thank you,

Don't use your internal DNS servers for external DNS resolution!

First off, that exposes your internal network to attack directly from the Internet.

Secondly, if you host your own DNS, you'll need 2 public IP addresses to set up 2 DNS servers; you must have at least 2 different DNS servers for every domain that you host. For redundancy reasons these need to be on separate IP subnets so you'll need to get another business broadband account from another ISP to be properly redundant.

Trust me, you DON'T want to do this!
