Yes.

Yes...

But, be *VERY VERY* careful here -- I'm going ot assume that you are only doing this as an internal test / example, with a *very* limited number of  participants.
You should *really* document what it is that you are trying to do with this addressing scheme in an Internet-Draft and apply for a RR code point so that you won't conflict with anyone (65280-65534  are "Reserved for Private Use", so you should be OK, but keep the above in mind...)...

Here is how:
Simply toss the RR into the zone like you would any other, listing TYPE<type number> \# <bytes> <data>. 

So, for example:

test.example.com    IN    TYPE65532 \# 3 010203

is a RR of type 65532, it's 3 octets long, and the data is 010203.
