The hostname for the name servers listed with your registrar, are really only
used for internal purposes to your registrar. You are required to also enter
the IP address of the name servers, which is what your registrar sends out
for DNS queries. So, when a client sends a DNS query your registrar replies
with the IP addresses of the name servers and then the query goes to those
name servers for resolution. Does that answer your question?
