I don't know why you should do that as you can use nameservers on any server.
But it is possible. You can set the nameservers of the customer domains to ns1 and ns2.blablaacme.com.
You have to create all domain names at the server which is running the 2 nameservers and then point the ip's and MX addresses to the ip of the servers which the sites and mails are running on.
Downside is that you have to copy important records of the domains on the 5 servers to the server with the nameservers. Think of records like the SPF and/or DKIM records for example.
There might be other options but this is what came to my mind at first.
Maybe via multi server setup for DNS.

you can use DA multiserver setup, add this NS servers as multiservers to each hosting server, so when you add any domain to hosting server - it's local DNS will be synced to this multiserver setup. Also it allows you to migrate accounts/domains between servers without changing NSs.

Yep, DA multi server setup is better. I didn't know it could ben done like this without the need for using it as an NS2. So multiserver would copy all records automatically and then that setup would be perfect.
