Is godaddy wrong in disallowing using my domain as an NS server for itself?

Yeah I was expecting to be able to set it up through the godaddy
control panel since they are the ones with access.  So you are saying
it's legitimate, but not something you would do?  I'm not expecting to
have enough traffic to need dedicated machines for DNS in the
foreseeable future, so having extra hostnames, and IP address for them
seems like a waste.  If it's legitimate to do so I would rather
pressure godaddy to change their control panel, or move to a different
registrar than get IP addresses.
