cPanel DNS Cluster setup (2 dns / web server - 2 dns cPanel DNS Only)

Hi, Sorry for my bad English. I have a one OVH dedicated server. I setup cPanel on this server and use with 45 website. I use ns1.domain.net and ns2.domain.net on this server. Main server: hostname: andro.domain.net webserver main ip: 178.33.xxx.xxx ns1.muhyal.net / 151.80.xx.xx ns2.muhyal.net / 151.80.xx.xx But I buy a one VPS now. I want to install this VPS on cPanel DNS Only for main webserver dns backup. I want to this because I use Gmail and Yandex MX records on this server and if this web server downed then my mailboxes downed. So is it possible to run the 2 ns (ns1 and ns2) in the main web server and the 2 ns (ns3 and ns4) in the cPanel DNS Only (VPS)? I configured my VPS with CentOS 6.x and installed on cPanel DNS Only. And I have extra two ip adress on this VPS. I want to use this name server with this ip adresses: cPanel DNS Only: hostname: dns.domain.net this VPS main ip: 149.202.xx.xxx ns3.domain.net / 37.187.xxx.x ns4.domain.net / 92.222.xx.xxx I use GoDaddy and i created hostnames for this name servers and use this ip adresses. Please explain how do I do this? Thanks.

Thanks. So i configure my VPS with two new ip and do not touch main vps ip and use ns3. ns4 ? And then configure dns cluster on cPanel ? Okay but i dont know, i need create a records on cPanel for ns3 ns4? I already create hostnames on GoDaddy. And please check again if main server downed all domains (only DNS) working on this VPS? Thanks.

Edit: So i add new name servers all domain names? eg, domain.net Before: ns1.domain.net ns2.domain.net After: ns1.domain.net ns2.domain.net ns3.domain.net ns4.domain.net ?f 1 and 2 downed working all domains (dns) on 3 and 4. Thanks again.

Hello :) Please keep in mind the DNS cluster is only going to increase redundancy for your DNS. Services such as Exim and Apache won't automatically switch over to the DNS-Only server your primary web server fails. The following document should help you get started:
