Doing DNS on Server and accounts on another?

    Hi all. Here is what I'm wanting to do, I'm just not sure how to go about it. I own a small hosting business and I have my main site on my VPS(Directadmin) but I have reseller accounts(cPanel) on mulitple servers. I want to do DNS on the VPS for all my reseller accounts so my clients, no matter what server I put them on, will use my DNS with my nameservers. How would I set this up? My domain(mydomain.com) is currently pointing to my site on the VPS and I've created my custom nameservers already(ns1.mydomain.com, ns2.mydomain.com). I'm confused on how to use these nameservers or another custom created set, for accounts on other servers or if it's even possible. Any pointers would be much appreciated.

    You would need to create a cPanel DNS only cluster, but I don't think you can tie your DA VPS into the CP DNS Cluster. Also, your reseller accounts inside WHM would have to be clustered with your new name servers - not all resellers will allow that, though. They mostly want you to use their DNS.

    I don't see how you could do it, unless you created all of the records manually,
