First of all, thank you for the fast reply!
I have tryed to do this, but when updating from the interface of my
domain registrar (eurodns.com) I get the error "The IP address of this
host could not be resolved"... I don't know exactly how this work, but I
thought that ns1 and ns2 should be resolvable before I update those
records on the panel...
Another thing I'm not sure about: is it possible to have an outoritative
NS for a domain in the same zone of the domain?

Thanks and regards,
Daniele
