The file that actually handles WHM > DNS Functions > Nameserver IPs area is at /var/cpanel/nameserverips.yaml location.

If you want this to be changed, you’d want to make a backup of that file first and then modify it:

cd /var/cpanel
cp nameserverips.yaml nameserverips.yaml.bak110112
nano nameserverips.yaml
