Basic DNS and Domain Questions

Ok, I've never my own DNS, but I now have a Plesk Red Hat Enterpeise Dedicated Server... I can currently only reach my site by IP, because I was waiting a week to transfer my domains from 1and1 to GoDaddy.

They are now transferred to my GoDaddy account, so I can change the DNS information on them. From what I understand, I want to point them to GoDaddy's DNS, then set up GoDaddy's DNS to point to my server? Or... am I totally wrong?

Basically, I have a server with a bunch of vhosts, its running a DNS (BIND) service, which is automatically setup through Plesk (so it has all the rules for my domains, etc)... I just have no idea what to do now, I want to set my domains (through godaddy) to point correctly to my server.

I'm not sure how to access my own DNS, either... I hear people talking about setting their domain in their registrar to point to, say, dns1.mydomain.com, dns2.mydomain.com... well, I couldn't possibly do that now, because mydomain.com doesn't even point to my server...

In short, I'm totally confused on what to do next, and I just want to point my domains to my server.

Thanks
