How to point my Name Server to a default page?

    I'm running my own domain registration service. When a user register a domain name with me their domain will automatically point to my NS. My question is, without creating hosting can i point the newly created domain to a default page?

    Have a VirtualHost setup that all requests go to a script, which then pulls the website URL, and inserts that into the parking page.

    You have to create the A records anyways, the DNS isn't going to point to your server automagically that I am aware of. Most providers do this, and you have to edit out their webservers, etc when you setup the DNS.

    I'm a domain reseller, when people buy a domain off me their domain NS is automatically set to my Name Server. I want people to see a parking page when their NS points to my NS.

    I don't know that you'll be able to do this without having root control over the server - if you do have root control contact whoever provides you your server and ask them for help with this.

    I would think just setting up a generic domain and configuring it last in the httpd.conf to answer on *:80 would do it.

    It is, it just requires something custom on the server it's pointed to that isn't offered by default by any hosting provider that I am aware of (besides your standard web site parkers).
