    You need to have a static Ip address installed in your server because it is a compulsion. After you assign the static ip address provided by your server provider. Go to DNS Management, dnsmgmt.msc from RUN.
    Then configure the primary zone and reverse lookup zone for your domain name. Then create host a records for it and select the update pointer automatically check box. You can create ns1.yourservername.com ns2.yourservername.com you can use different ips for these nameserver addresses.
