One nameserver for multiple cpanel servers

We have a couple of spare servers that want to offer them for hosting. they've both got WHM Cpanel installed, our main server which is the one where the new "hosting" company will be is www.x.com,

the two servers are host1.x.com and host2.x.com, do we need to create name servers for each host1.x.com and host2.x.com so that our clients simply point their domains to ns1host1.x.com and ns2host2.x.com when we create their account on cpanel on host1.x.com?

What you're trying to accomplish lies outside normal WHM + CPanel functionality.

Likely someone has written a plugin to support this + most hosting companies (sounds like that's what you're starting) then to handle DNS in a panel outside WHM + CPanel, because WHM + CPanel updates can break all plugins, so you'll constantly be wrestling with WHM + CPanel if try to use their facilities.

Thank you, so the most friendly way organize this is to create a domain for each server with its own name servers and round robin account creation?
