You have to get your ISP to delegate, of course.  Where they delegate is up
to you.

I use granitecanyon for my forward secondary, and I run a primary and
secondary myself.  They are on two different machines on my /29 subnet, so
if my DSL is down, both of my DNS ar down.  There's not reason you couldn't
run a master and slave on the same machine if you bind more than one IP to
the same interface.

For reverse, I use my primary master and slave to my secondary, and to two
of my ISP name servers.

my own way, to whom must I go for the "redelegation"?

Your ISP.
