No, the right hand side of a NS (or a MX) cannot be an alias. It has
to be the canonical name. Your setup may work but break in mysterious
ways with some resolvers.
Why not:
@ IN NS ns1.mydomain.com.
diamond IN A 198.138.227.66
ns1 IN A 198.138.227.66
www IN CNAME diamond
(or "diamond IN CNAME ns1")
