Setting Up 2 WHM/cPanel VPS with DNS and 4 IPs (But My Question Is About Custom Name Server)

I currently have:
2 VPS
2 WHM/cPanel Licenses registered on the following IP/hostname
- 1.1.1.1 smile.myhost.com
- 3.3.3.3 sad.myhost.com
4 IPs
- 1.1.1.1
- 2.2.2.2
- 3.3.3.3
- 4.4.4.4
5 domains
- myhost.com
- myclient1.com
- myclient2.com
- myproject.com
- mysubproject.com
Now, I'd like to setup both servers under myhost.com
VPS1
smile.myhost.com 1.1.1.1
sad.myhost.com 2.2.2.2
I wanna use myhost.com to 1.1.1.1 (dedicated ip for this domain only) and myclient1.com and myclient2.com to 2.2.2.2 (shared ip for these domains and future domain)
VPS2
laugh.myhost.com 3.3.3.3
cry.myhost.com 4.4.4.4
I wanna use myproject.com to 3.3.3.3 (dedicated ip for this domain only) and mysubproject.com (shared ip for this domain and future domains) to 4.4.4.4
So, my question is how do i set the DNS server (bind), where, and which IP do i need to use for nameservers in WHM for all my domains so that I can update it on my domain registrar. Tell me about zone files and which A record should I change and on which server? Do I need to run 2 nameservers bind at both VPS or only at the first server and for myproject.com or mysubproject.com can I use the custom name server too?
ns1.myhost.com = ?.?.?.?
ns2.myhost.com = ?.?.?.?

One question:
VPS1 has 1.1.1.1(main) & 2.2.2.2 (smile.myhost.com - hostname)
VPS2 has 3.3.3.3(main) & 4.4.4.4 (sad.myhost.com - hostname)
and myhost.com is on VPS1?
It is unclear for me...

That's right. myhost.com is on VPS 1.

So you can create:
VPS1:
ns1.myhost.com / 1.1.1.1
ns2.myhost.com / 2.2.2.2
VPS2:
ns3.myhost.com / 3.3.3.3
ns4.myhost.com / 4.4.4.5
On VPS1 in zone myhost.com add:
ns3 in A 3.3.3.3
ns4 in A 4.4.4.4
sad in A 3.3.3.3 (for hostname)
And register ns1.myhost.com (1.1.1.1), ns2.myhost.com (2.2.2.2), ns3.myhost.com (3.3.3.3), ns4.myhost.com (4.4.4.4) at your register.
Now, if you want a domain to be hosted on VPS1, use ns1/ns2
or on VPS2 ns3/ns4
Again if I understood correctly !!!

Yes, this is exactly what I was thinking of doing but looking in the long run, what happens if I have 10 VPS in the future do I need to register all the ns5 ns6 / ns7 ns8 in my domain registrar? I was also wondering my domain registrar only allow up to 8 name servers per domain for registration (A/glue record). What if I want to register ns9 ns10 for my 5th VPS how will I go about?
Edit: Really thank you for your feedback, it gave me insights on how to configure my setup.

Why not setup a DNS cluster? So, you can use only ns1 and ns2.

Correct, for more servers/ vps that is the solution.

I'm suddenly lost when the topic DNS cluster came about. Now, I need to do more research not sure where to start...

Ive been looking for a solid tutorial on setting up a DNS cluster as well for multiple servers across different providers and countries. I keep striving out but I'll post one if I come across it.

Hey there! Thanks for your interest but I've managed to solve this issue last week.
Please check this blog to learn more about DNS clustering and how to synchronize between servers to set up your multiple DNS and name servers.
