This is how you create name servers at godaddy.

If you would like to set this up to host the dns on your own server it would be a multistep processes. You would first need to register your nameservers with goaddy as follows:

Go to Domains
My Domains
Click on your domain
Click on (add) under 'Host Summary' on the bottom left.
For "Host Name:" you'll input "ns1" (no quotes) in the box.
For "Host IP 1: (nameservers ip address)
Click "Ok" - Your first nameserver has been created. 

Click on (add) under 'Host Summary' on the bottom left.
For "Host Name:" you'll input "ns2" (no quotes) in the box.
For "Host IP 1: (nameservers ip address)
Click "Ok" - Your first nameserver has been created.

Once that is complete and the nameservers are registered you would then need to change the nameservers the domain points to as follows:

Log in to your Account Manager.
In the My Products section, select Domain Manager.
Select the domain name(s) you want to modify.
From (Nameservers), select Set Nameservers.
Select : 
I have specific nameservers for my domains

# Input the new nameservers:
ns1.domain here.com
ns2.domain here.com
#click "ok"


Once that is done you would need to make sure the zonefile is correct on the server and that you have A records set up for ns1 and ns3 in the zonefile for the domain.
