After downloading a server program onto my home computer(more specifically, Xerver. Please post if there's any reason I shouldn't have done that), my current project is to also set it up with DNS server software. Correct me if any of the following is wrong:

When a computer is looking up a domain name, it contacts a DNS server. If the DNS server doesn't have information on that domain name, it redirects your computer to another DNS server listed in its archives.

However, since my DNS server-to-be is not and will not be in any of those archives, no one will contact it, even if they're looking for information exclusive to it.

So my question is, how do I "submit" my DNS server(once it's made) to one of these lists? I think I read somewhere that it's possible...
