The first thing you need is a static IP address. Next, no one will contact your DNS server unless their computer is setup to do so. Basically, anyone that's using DHCP to get an IP address will use their own ISP's DNS servers since the ISP provides which DNS server the user will use. Now, if you're handling the zone information for a particular domain, that domain will list your DNS server as one of the Name Servers that provides the IP address for that domain. At this point, anyone that wants to visit that website will contact your DNS server for the proper IP address of the website.
