A "valid" nameserver is one that is registered with the root registry.
If you can:
$ whois -h whois.crsnic.net <nameserver>
And get a valid response (IP address, Registrar domain is hosted with)
then you have a 'valid' nameserver.
Server Name: NS1.TUCOWS.COM
IP Address: 207.136.100.145
Registrar: TUCOWS.COM, INC.
Whois Server: whois.opensrs.net
Referral URL: www.opensrs.org
Invalid:
No match for "NS.TUCOWS.COM".
