Yes. You can handle the DNS for any zone or sub-zone regardless of where 
its systems are and who runs them. DNS is an independent service. However, 
I *do* suggest that you "delegate" the zone and have two separate zone 
files for it, even if they are both on your server. This will make future 
administration much easier... and if you do decide to delegate the zone to 
them later, it will be a very easy change.

Cheers,
