Create two A records for your two custom name servers
In order to complete the setup of your custom name servers you will need to create two A records for each of the name server records that you created above.
If the domain that you are using as your custom name servers is hosted externally then create the corresponding A records using the the following knowledge base article which provides information on what IP addresses to use
If the domain that you are using as your custom name servers is to be hosted the same server that you have with Absolute Hosting then follow the steps below.
Within WHM's Menu type the word DNS and click on DNS Functions
On the DNS Functions page click Edit DNS Zone
Select the domain name you need to add the two A records to, ie yournameservers.co.za and click the Edit button

Refer to the knowledge base article titled What Name Servers Do I use when Registering or Transferring a Domain according to the server your service is provisioned on.
