Hostname & dns question

I am in the process of setting up a new server (my 2nd dedicated). The host name of the 1st server is in the format of name1.mydomain.com and I want the hostname of the 2nd server to be name2.mydomain.com. But I am not certain the best way to handle the dns settings for the domain "mydomain.com".

My thought is to create a dns zone on both servers for this domain and then try to keep them in sync somehow. Then at the domain registrar I would assign name servers to that domain 1 or 2 on each server.

Both servers are WHM/cpanel so I know there is an option for synronizing dns servers, but I only want to syn 1 or 2 zones and am not certain how to do this.

I don't know if I have supplied enough information, explaining what I am trying to do, but any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
