I wonder if you could use test net IPs for the name servers. I don't think ther are routable out side of test environments.

Oh, you are just mean. ;)

Depends on the domain's registrar. Some if not all registrars actually
check to see if the IP address is valid and responds. I'm willing to bet
that part of that check is against the addresses in RFC 1918 and subsequent
similar reserved IP spaces.
