You can name your nameserver whatever you want. Some things work a little
better if the name you register and put in NS records is the same as the
one that "hostname" shows -- this allows the server to detect more easily
when a domain is delegated to itself.

DNS doesn't care about /etc/hosts. You should include it as an A record in
the myserver.com domain.
