Hello Kevin,
I have an update maybe you can direct me where to go now,

I emaoled Domain Bank and thie was the email I sent:
I have another question please to help with this.

If I setup my own DNS server would the SOA be me and not the domainbank
servers?

(I am trying to get this figured out as fast as possible)

How would I get my DNS server registered? Would I have to register
another domain name with you for instance:

DNS1.lodestarpublications.net

Then wait the 24-48 hours to propagate then add it to your DNS control
manager?

Ok if so can I use your dns primary and mine as a secondary?
Would your server replicate to mine in this case?
Thanks very much

This was my reply:
If your domain is no longer on our servers and you have your own it
would be up to you to set the SOA.

In order to use a nameserver for a .com name it must be registered with
the central registry. Their database is at
<http://www.nsiregistry.com/whois/> where all registered domain names,
nameservers, and IP address can be found.

Your nameservers are not yet registered with the central registry.
Please reply with the corresponding IP addresses and I will register
them for you. If you are looking to go that route. However you will
need two servers. Please let us know if you have any further questions
************************************************************

What do you think?

Thanks
Joe
