Good step.

That's because .com, .org, and .net (as well as other) domains require that 
nameservers be registered with the same registrar that holds the domain 
registration (often, but not always, Network Solutions), as nameservers.

You need to create host records for nameservers.  See your registrar for 
information on how to do that.

Each nameserver MUST have a unique IP#; so you'll need multiple IP#s on 
those systems.

The IP#s can be used for anything else on the RaQ as well, even from 
another domain.

But each name-server must be registered.  And have a unique IP# (where 
unique means not being used by any other registered nameserver).

As long as .uk nameservers aren't registered as such, you could use the 
same IP# for .com/.org/.net nameservers.
