Basically. Provided of course you've read and grocked O'Reilly's
DNS and BIND and done what it tells you to do. Most notably
activate your NS and have it serve your domain as primary
authority for that domain.

It's not hard, but you'll be glad you've spend those few bucks.
Alternatively register.com and gandi.net both provide free
DNS services. Even simpler still.

PS do not forget the mandatory secondary NS!
