If my understanding of your &virtual nameservers& are correct, then yeah, just assign more IPs to your cpanel server and assign ns*.newdomain.com to new IPs.
I was thinking there was a way to assign virtual nameserver ie name based not ip.
I dont have that many ip's so I dont want to give them out if I dont have to. When I setup my nameserver I had to have 2 ip's to register as nameservers.
ns1 = 00.000.000.00
&
ns2 = 00.000.000.00
I would prefer if ther was some way of giving them an internal ip ie 192.168.0.22
But as far as I understand they cant register an internal ip as a nameserver.
I am going to checkout some dynamic dns services see what they have. Maybe there is a way to give a client a private nameserver without having to give up my ip's.

You can't do that. Each NS requires its own unique IP address. You can't have two nameservers pointing to the same location.
You can register multple nameservers to the same ip.
For example
ns1.domain.com = 111.111.111.111
ns1.domain2.com = 111.111.111.111
ns2.domain.com = 111.111.111.112
ns2.domain2.com = 111.111.111.112
We have some nameservers like this.
For example
ns1.domain.com = 111.111.111.111
ns1.domain2.com = 111.111.111.111
ns2.domain.com = 111.111.111.112
ns2.domain2.com = 111.111.111.112
We have some nameservers like this.
Here is an example of how it would look, this is our nameserver ns2.virtual-hosting.com

http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/lookup.ch?name=ns2.virtual-hosting.com&type=NS
That's pretty sweet, David.
Although I thought I had things properly setup, I seem to get a problem on line 3 of &How I am searching& as it Reports that no NS records exist.
Care to share.

I didn't do anything special,
1. Register the .com & .ca Nameservers at the registrar
2. Used .ca as primary nameservers in whm setup
3. Modify zone for .com and add the ns records for .com
Zone looks like this;
virtual-hosting.com. 14400 IN NS ns1.virtual-hosting.com
Also make sure that no wildcarding it done for that zone as well.
Also not sure if it makes a difference or not, but virtual-hosting.com is a Dedicated IP setup.
Waited the normal 72 hours and bingo! worked!

Well, this is getting interesting. In using WHM & Dns Functions & Edit a DNS Zone, I came across an entry for NS1.domain.com and also one for a Reseller NS1.
Now, the interesting thing is that 'my' NS1 is using an unused IP address (not the registerd one in nameserverips) and there is only one entry for a Reseller NS (even though I have others). The entry is also spelled incorrectly, but that is beside the point -- I can easily fix up the related files later.
My questions would be:
1. Does anyone else show just NS1 or also NS2 for their Server NSs?
2. Should NS2 for any Nameservers also be listed -- none are?
3. How in heck did an incorrect IP address get registered in the first place?
4. Should all or none, of the Reseller Nameservers be listed -- no others show up in /etc/named.conf?
Server is functionally well and a DNSReport for Domain Name shows correct NSs, although, as noted above, a Nameserver check shows errors.

I have the same setup, but I don't see the same thing w/ dnslookup. Is it possible that I need to be able do a reverse IP lookup?
