Easy. Now that you have a domain registered, you go back to dotster and
register two "HOST" machines, something like:
ns1.pushee.com
ns2.pushee.com
where they are your Linux hosts where you run BIND.
Once the HOSTs are regisgtered (it's free, and requires fixed public ip
addresses for each, because these HOST's A records go into the
root-servers), you can modify your pushee.com to list ns1 and ns2 as
authoritative for pushee.com, and all the domains you plan to host.
But you're right, "boostrapping" your first HOSTs registrations is kinda
foggy for most of us.
