Nameservers- I just don't get it!

I have been trying to understand how all this DNS malarky works.

When I was new I was told that DNS servers were big servers which your ISP has which maps a domain to an IP. Thats fair enough I get it all.

Now I don't understand this comparison to running DNS on your webservers and having your own nameservers.

It's all just confused me and I don't see what nameservers actually are Nameservers- I just don't get it!
