I would like to know how does one go about registaring dns servers. I know you have to go through a registar but say for eaxple you registar www.mydomain.com. Can you than go back to that registar and add a host for your dns server such as dns1.mydomain.com. Or do you have to actually registar dns1mydomain.com just as you first had registared www.mydomain.com.
 
When you register the domain name, you usually supply the IP addresses for two DNS servers. These servers tell the world how to find any host on mydomain.com, including the host www. So you're only registering the mydomain.com part, and the DNS servers pointed to at registration do the rest.
 
Your registrar should have the necessary tools to get the job done.

Godaddy for example has a section called 'registering nameservers.' You essentially provide the host name you wish to use (IE ns1.yourdomain.com ns2.yourdomain.com) as well as the IP addresses you're using with your nameservers and godaddy will take care of the rest.

You do not need to register additional domains. Simply having yourdomain.com, BIND or another nameserver service actively running on a single server accepting traffic for both of the IPs (or multiple nameservers if this is your setup), and make your request via your registrar.
