DNS server setup

Hi. I own the domain mfreeland.net, which I wish to use as my personal domain
for email/web site/ftp/telnet/etc. I read a HOWTO for BIND9 and set up the
server. All seems to be working when I dig to localhost, so I think I have
everything configured. If you need it, I can send coppies of my named.conf
and zone files. The problem I have is that when I went to my registrar,
godaddy.com, and tried to change my nameservers to ns.mfreeland.net (my
machine), it said a) you need 2 nameservers, and b) the nameserver is not
registered. What must I do to get the nameserver registered, and is there
any way to get around needing 2 nameservers? My server will be running from
my dorm room, so I don't think they'll want me running 2 PCs fulltime. I
understand that the slave server is supposed to be there in case the primary
fails, but honestly, I don't care if my website goes down for a short time;
it's just a private website. Thanks in advance for any help.

PS Sorry if this goes out twice, I'm having trouble with the emtp server
that my address is currently routed to.
