I host my own multiple Websites on my server. How do i setup my own child nameserver?

There are 4 different websites, with .com and .net and .ro at the end. I moved them to my own server.

My Domain Administration (Registrar) let's me define my own child nameserver with my own IP and i've added my nameserver as my domain nameservers list.

ns.something.ro as the first and only in the nameservers list

ns.something.ro with my own IP address as the child nameserver

I've setup everything and it works (kind of). When i use my ns IP adress directly i can of course access everything. Using "normal" external dnses will not work. As expected others on the web can't resolve correctly.

What's wrong? Am i missing something?
