Yes.  I just got done setting up a server for a customer that wanted to
protect his domain from "not found" errors and what we did was to setup the
Raq3 as ns.domain.com and then moved the domains over one at a time...

Isssues to watch out for are frontpage, and the name server thats first on
the clients computer....  If you make ns.domain.com first then whatever it
knows will be the clients answer.... Ie:  If the client types in
www.mydomain.com and his computer asks his name server what the ip is then
they will be able to work on the domain with the new ip numbers....  This is
a perk of being in control of your own nameserver...
