    bind is easy and simple
    I recommend you first install bind on your laptop/desktop
    configure it as your own NS to bipass any need for your ISP's NS

    then do the same on your server with a complete domain configuration.

    depending on your Linux dist this may be simple and quick to do
    I use - on my laptops and on server - openSuSE that comes with a near ready to use bind and requires minimal additional configuration.

    on my server then I use bind for my own primary NS ( master ) and the 2 other external NS are "slaves" placed properly around the globe for fastest service.

    having a master on your own server makes maintenance easiest
    and
    it's all under your full control
    :)

    take a while to study the excellent howtos - then start on your laptop first ...

    However, don't forget to secure your configuration. It can cost you if the server allows recursion or domain transfers to anyone.
