I don't think this can be done, you will need an IP for each NS record.

That's right, each NS record requires a unique IP address, you can't have two or more nameservers pointing to the same IP addresses. It would be very useful for many hosts if that could be done though.

Hold on, I'm confused by the responses. NS records don't have IP addresses, and you CAN point more than one name server to the same IP address.

It can be done. We do it. It works great
Just register new nameservers ns.yourreseller.com with your IP.
We had a discussion on this a few months/weeks back. And almost all registrars now comply with this. There is nothing wrong with it.

I already explained. Just register new nameservers with same IPs.
Now here's a detailed explanation:
Your Nameservers:
1.1.1.1 ns1.you.com
1.1.1.2 ns2.you.com
Ask your reseller to register nameservers at their domain registrar
1.1.1.1 ns1.reseller.com
1.1.1.2 ns2.reseller.com

Gives me an error saying that there is already a nameserver associated with that IP address.

If I were you, I would send an email to customer support and ask them to start this thing
The fact of the matter is that till mid-January this year, there was a rule that no same IP can use more than one nameservers. However this rule has been lifted and central registry now allows multiple nameservers (from different domains) to use same IP. There is nothing wrong technically. It was just a rule, which is no more.
Check this out:
whois ns1.easydns.com: 216.220.40.243
whois ns1.jeftovic.org: 216.220.40.243
Many of the registrars have not yet started this. Now you as a customer must ask them. I'm going to ask Godaddy now. Or move all my domains away from them.
Dotster allows this. Can't say for others.
BTW, I also tested at http://www.crsnic.net - if I check nameservers against IP, it brings all of them
So basically the registrars are following the old rules. They need to update their software× Dedicated Servers × cPanel Shared/Reseller Hosting
