if NS for mydomain.com is xxx.mydomain.com (the ns host is within
the domain itself) you tell godaddy the name AND ip addresses of
teh ns1.mysdomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com, there's an option
on their website to do that. this prevents a recursive
condition. the IP address is stored in their nameserver,
AND make sure that your zone setup on your actuall nameserver
also reflect this. your zone setup should actually have A records
for that NS records also.
if NS for mydomain.com is anotherdomain.com you should not specify
the IP address--thats handled by anotherdomain. you just say that
the nameservers for mydomain.com is ns1.anotherdomain.com.
sorry If my terminologies arent precise (its been a while).
