2 VPS for DNS
Looking for 2 vps for cpanel dns only. My main vps servers are in the UK so what locations would I need? And any recommendations?
Would vps dns1 have ns1
And vps 2 dns2 have ns2
Would I only need 1 IP on each also?

One IP per VPS would be no problem. If you're doing cPanel DNS only, you'll want at least 1 GB of RAM per VPS. It will work on 512 MB, but it gets wonky.
You can pair your nameservers however you like. VPS1 = NS1 and VPS2 = NS2 would be fine.▐█▌Fresh Roasted Hosting :: High-performance Harrisburg web hosting since 2012!

Actually you can run DNS_ONLY on less memory... You just have to disable mySQL since the only thing using it is cpHulk unless your using mydns in that case you need mySQL running.
mySQL is a memory hog even when its not needed.

Here is a silly question, but how many domains will your DNS serve? If the number is very low, then you may want to consider one of the free and simple options, such as using your domain registrar's DNS.

Just get a couple of VPS's with a couple of different providers. Yes, CPanel DNS Only WILL run in 512Meg.
If you are looking at this, then the whole point is to get redundancy, so yes, use different providers in different geographical locations. If you are not going to include your current VPS as part of your DNS cluster, then use the same provider you have for 1 of them and then just pick another provider in another location. Might even be worth considering that 1 VPs that is remote be scaled with sufficient disk space so you can use it also for off-site Backups for CPanel, getting even more value out of it.CPanel Shared and Reseller Hosting, OpenVZ VPS Hosting.

I'm really confused with all this dns cluster and more vps servers.
At the moment I have 1 main vps where I host around 50 domains for clients. The vps has 6 IP addresses 2 of which I use for NS1 and NS2.
I have set my main domain with my domain register with ns1.mydomain.com pointing to 1.1.1.1
And ns2.mydomain.com pointing to 2.2.2.2 in the dns settings with internetbs. Is this correct?

I don't know if I'd place a production virtual environment on top of the same VPS which is being used as part of your disaster recovery protocol. I'm not suggesting that doing such will increase/decrease the integrity of your backup environment, or that @RRWH is wrong by any means, I mean if it's sitting there holding tarballs of cpmoves I don't think it could hurt much, I'm pretty sure the only ports opened by introducing DNSONLY are 53/2086/2087, and probably 80 if Apache's been on that machine the whole time. I think SMTP too, for alert handling. But I just prefer to keep them seperated, and that it might be a better idea to pick up lower spec VM's (not the same as lower-end). At 512mb physical memory allocation, or even a 256x256 RAM+SWAP combination should be perfectly fine.
