First of all sorry for bad English.
I'm a newcomer to FreeBSD, and I'm going to like it.
Before I tried FreeBSD, I had a Linux VPS (My ISP set it up for me). I decide to drop it in favor of FreeBSD and installed FreeBSD from scratch on VMWare ESXi 4.0 (My ISP just offers Linux VPS, but they agreed to let me set it up myself).
The problem is I know nothing about setting up DNS and Nameserver. (I'm just a web developer, my knowledge in network-related stuff is zero or less)
I followed this guide to setup bind nameserver:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-dns.html
The Server Spec:
91.194.91.7
ns1.babaei.net 91.194.90.11
ns2.babaei.net 91.194.90.12
ns3.babaei.net 193.200.241.6
ns4.babaei.net 93.104.209.252
My settings in Directi domain panel:

I tried this for 7 days, and still I can't browse my website:
http://checkdns.net/quickcheck.aspx?...net&detailed=1
Tried to fetch SOA record for domain, but DNS server ns1.babaei.net [91.194.90.11] returned error code Refused
Error fetching SOA from ns2.babaei.net [93.104.209.252]: Connection reset. Probably DNS server is offline.
Tried to fetch SOA record for domain, but DNS server ns3.babaei.net [193.200.241.6] returned error code Refused
Tried to fetch SOA record for domain, but DNS server ns4.babaei.net [91.194.90.12] returned error code Refused
It's an rock-solid OS and I didn't want to ignore it just because I can't setup DNS in bind or my ISP doesn't support FreeBSD.
And if related this is my /usr/local/etc/lighttpd.conf
$HTTP["host"] =~ "(^|\.)babaei\.net$" {
server.document-root = "...../www"
server.errorlog = "...../_error.log"
accesslog.filename = "...../_access.log"
server.error-handler-404 = "/_404.html"
}
I also posted similar question here:

Thanks in Advance.

EDIT:
Finally it works:
I just changed everything to VPS IP itself:
ns1 IN A 91.194.91.7
ns2 IN A 91.194.91.7
ns3 IN A 91.194.91.7
ns4 IN A 91.194.91.7
(This happens in domain panel also).
I also needed to change this line in
/etc/namedb/named.conf
// listen-on { 127.0.0.1; };
// Changed to:
listen-on { 91.194.91.7; };
or simply it's not working.
I added
/etc/rc.conf
sendmail_enable="YES"
or I'll get:
error connecting to mail server port 25 : connection refused.
I'm still waiting till DNS databases across the NET is updating.
http://checkdns.net/quickcheck.aspx?domain=www.babaei.net&detailed=1
That's a shame!! They told me these IP's are authoritative for my domain, But it's not. I think these are my ISP's DNS Server, since I can browse them by a browser. I really don't know how they can handle this, But I'm happy for now.
Best Answer
Assuming that your question is "how can I get this to work", I think you're missing something fundamental here.
The NS records point (indirectly) to IP addresses of DNS servers which hold the DNS records of that domain. In your case these are [ns1, ns2, ns3, ns4]. So any client which looks up your domain name is expecting to find answers at one of these addresses, however they don't have the answer because you've set up the DNS records for your domain on your own VPS.
This means you need to do one of two things: You either need to have those 4 servers holding your DNS records, or you need to change the NS records to point to your VPS.
Assuming that those nameservers have been provided by your VPS provider, you usually get provided with a web frontend so you can add and modify records. In this case, you don't need to have BIND running on your VPS at all.
If you want your server's BIND to be the DNS server for your domain then the NS record for the domain must point to your VPS's IP address. Note that you're usually required to have at least two (different) NS records for the domain, so you may require two IP addresses for your VPS.
