OP is running one or more DNS servers, and wants to have "vanity" nameservers for their domain (e.g. ns1/ns2.example.com for example.com, rather than ns1/ns2.theirhostingprovider.net). This is generally inadvisable, but it's their prerogative.
Eh, since when is having in-bailiwick name servers not advisable? Is it stated in some BCP or draft? In-bailiwick servers and glue records have been standard practice as long as DNS existed.
Adding to this if I am not running my own nameservers I can not watch DNS requests to see how bots are evolving. I sometimes take evasive maneuvers to trip up the bots. Some ... well most ... would say I should be using Cloudflare for such things but I am not even going to write up a blog on why I will not. I run my own servers for anything I can and then my hobby is to play blue team with the bots and skiddies. I can't do that with other peoples nameservers.
