Is it possible to change the domain name in the SOA-record to a @  ??

Example:
=====
$TTL  14400
@       IN      SOA     domainname.com.       registry.latitud.net. (
      2006041201 ; Serial
                        14400 ; Refresh
                        900 ; Retry
                        604800 ; Expire
                        3600 ) ; Negative Cache TTL
@       IN      NS      ns.isp.net.
