Dedicated Servers : Running your own nameservers DNS simple question I hope

If you are running your own DNS, you have registered a domain, eg.:

domain.com

…and then registered the name server addresses so your hosted customers can use for their domains. Let’s say you have these name servers that are registered:

ns1.domain.com
ns2.domain.com

But here’s the question – Do you need to keep that domain (domain.com) registered? In other words, if the domain expires, will the name server addresses that are based on that domain, also go out of business?
