Private Name Server Question
I got a domain reseller account with Resellerclub and a VPS with linode. I need private name servers setup (ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com) I got two IP's for my VPS and is planning to use those IP's for this purpose (I understand that this is not the ideal method,) but that is how I want it to be done now.
Also, the same IP's are used for SSL purpose and that's how I got it allocated.
VPS has got WHM/cPanel installed on it. Could someone please tell me what I should do to get this done? These are the settings that I see on my domain control panel
Name Servers: ns1.mydomain.com
ns2.mydomain.com
Child Nameservers: hostname: ns1.mydomain.com IP: VPS IP1
hostname: ns2.mydomain.com IP: VPS IP2
There are 12 A Records pointing to Resellerclub IP's.
6702557 ns1.mydomain.com Resellerclub IP1
6702612 ns1.mydomain.com Resellerclub IP2
6702518 ns2.mydomain.com Resellerclub IP3
6702612 ns2.mydomain.com Resellerclub IP4
and so on..
I'm running Google Apps on this domain and has updated MX records for the same.
By looking at this information, I guess someone can help me on getting this task done. I've tried my best to be as detailed as possible, If there is anything else that could be added, please let me know.
Thanks in advance
P.S: Please don't come up with geographically dispersed DNS stuff. I very well know that it is the ideal solution.

You need to:
1. Go to your domain registrar and set up your domain to create nameservers pointed to your linode ips.
2. In whm go to "nameserver ips" (or something along those lines) and let it populate them automatically.
3. create dns records for the domains you want to host
4. set the nameservers for your domains to your private nameservers.
