I don't understand the question.  "domain" and "DNS" are the same thing,
aren't they?  Are you asking whether you can use the same machine as the
web server and nameserver?  Sure.

Yes, you'll need to fill out a host form at NSI, and then a Modify Domain
form to change the registration to point to your primary and secondary
servers instead of GC's servers.

You need the line:

$TTL 43200

before the SOA record.  The last field in the SOA record is no longer the
default_ttl, it's the ncache_ttl, and the $TTL directive specifies the
default TTL.

Once the secondary is set up you'll add an NS record for it, right?
