um, not exactly sure what you want here but from the looks of it all you
would be needing is the A records pointing to the ip address of each
server and get whoever owns the netblock your static addresses are comming
from the setup the PTR records to point to the same name (this can be
needed for some services on the net to work properly)

once this is done you can setup CNAME's (aliases) for any of teh other
services you want to add (ftp, www, etc) and setup your pinholes to suit

if you own the domain then sure - you could get domainz to point the
primary and secondary name servers to your own ip addresses but judging
from your questions this is probably a bad idea unless you have experience
in setting up and running DNS (not being picky but if its for a company
and you break it nothing will work and can take up to 24 hours to fix)

most isp's will do this sorta thing and readily make changes as you need
them with only nominal costs involved.
