Should the hostname of my VPS point to the dedi IP of my Domain or to to a shared one used for new account creation?

I leased a VPS which I want to use to sell shared hosting. 3 IPs - I call them A, B and C here for simplicity. Actual setup is: A=NS1.mydomain.com; host.mydomain.com and is used to set-up new accounts in shared environment
B=NS2.mydomain.com
C=dedicated IP for mydomain.com (SSL secured)
The more I read about DNS, the more I get confused; thus my question:
Is this configuration "Good Practice", especially the hostname pointing to A rather than to C?
And what would be a better alternative?
