Question (WHM) Primary Resolver and Nameserver confusion

Okay,

I know generally how the internet works but here I am confused. Every website that I've worked on prior to this had a vendor providing Nameserver services -Meaning that I just pointed my DNS to their server and they do the rest.

Now, I am confused by what the Primary Resolver is supposed to point to. I am supposed to use WHM as a private nameserver but then does the Primary resolver point to itself? That doesn't seem right. Do I have to set this up? Can I remove it?

Say for example I have a website named: FatUnixGuy.com and I have two fixed IP addresses reserved for this at 192.168.22.10 and 192.168.22.11
