bind on vps

[Walter Alejandro Iglesias]

Hello,

I read bind howto, several tutorials, mailing lists.  After
two months trying to get this working without success I must
bother you.

I am running a Slackware in a vps server, it provides me two
IPs (I can ask for more if needed).

I have the domains registered at go daddy.

It will be a web hosting sever.  I wrote my own web client
panel and my own bash scripts to automate the upload of new
client's virtual domains.  That's why I want to run my own dns
server; I want to be able to update the registers in my own
machine.

I am running my name server in the same machine I run my
domains.  I've read a post in this mailing list where a newbie
like me explains the same problem.  But the last answer
mention only about "glue" records and I think I've included
them correctly(?).  nslookup returns me the expected when I
run from inside the vps but not when I run it from the
outside.  

I've defined two zones.  The first to my main domain, I need
to run a ssl site and I prefer dedicate the first ip to it.
And a template zone to the rest of virtual domains.

I've opened port 53 in my firewall.

mydomain.com
virtualdomain.com	(more late I want to be able to add
			virtualdomain2.com, virtualdomain3.com, etc.
			pointing to the template zone).

11.22.33.44 (first ip provided for vps)
11.22.33.45 (second ip provided for vps)

45	IN	PTR	ns2.mydomain.com.

----------- end config files -------------------------

In case my configuration is OK,
what must I ask to my vps provider?
what must I do at go daddy?

At go daddy I added ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com
records and associate them to the two ips in its web
interface.

At my vps panel I have an option to reverse address domain
names, could it confuse dns?  Must I use this registers or
must I leave it blank?  I case it is convenient setup a domain
name at VPS dns, what can I put there? 


Well I will really appreciate your help.
