Can I prevent WHM autoassigning nameserver IP's

Danger: Newbie alert!

Now I have my nameservers functioning correctly at the registrar end and are pointing to my new dedicated server I am trying to get WHM (server is running Red Hat Enterprise 3) to use the two IP addresses I want for my nameservers and not the default IP address for the server.

Is this possible?

I have four IP addresses assigned to the server, one as the default IP address, and three others. It is two of those 3 others that I want to use for ns1 and ns2.

whenever I click on Assign IP address in the Edit Setup page of WHM it assigns the default IP address for the server. IF I click on the Manage Nameserver IPs link it shows me the default IP address listed as NS1 each time, even if I delete it and have edited the DNS zone manually.

If I do a reverse DNS on the nameservers they show as being correctly configured exaclty how I want them. So why doesnt WHM pick this up?

It's doing my nut in. Can anyone help please.
