  cPanel DNS only is quite easy to install, literally a few simple commands. See the install instructions here:

  http://docs.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/view/AllDocumentation/InstallationGuide/InstallingCpanel

  You don't need a huge server, a 256MB VPS will work fine for a basic server. See the cPanel docs for information about setting up a cluster:

  There is no advanced command, just install it following cPanel documentation, configure cluster (simply adding IP and remote key), and you're done.

  This is one of mine serving ~200 DNS entries, running on 128MB RAM and 5GB disk.

  # free -m
               total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
  Mem:           128         46         81          0          0         25
  -/+ buffers/cache:         20        107
  Swap:          128         54         73

  2 - Do i need a big server to install it? or just a small one?

  Depends on the number of zones, the frequency of updates, and the number of queries.
  Without much more information it's impossible to be more specific

  For small clusters 128mb RAM/ 128mb SWAP for the install then scale the VPS up as load increases ...

  And one more, you can only use DNSONLY in cluster mode if you already own a full Cpanel/WHM licence. That's written down in the documentation.
