    Why not use a open nameserver?

    you need only 2 ips for two nameservers

    and open nameservers are not reliable and more security risk as they are open .

    You only need 2 IPs to configure nameservers and the rest of the nameservers can park on the top of main nameservers. (You can configure nameservers via WHM >> Nameservers and assign IP to it). Just add me to your messenger, I could advise you to setup nameservers.
