I've been running my own DNS for like two decades on a random ass IP
Yes, but my browser doesn’t give a fuck. As it should be for many reasons, including general security.
Your DNS only works for services/machines you have explicitly set to follow it, or devices under them in the network hierarchy.

For your domain, not other people's domains. Are your servers authoritative for the top level domain you're on?
