I have a ctld "xx.xx" ( not real domain for security reason) registered on cctld registra. Is there any way i can sell subdomain of this domain with custom dns setting. so, my customers will be able to register domain like this "internet.xx.xx". And they can point their domain to certain webhosts by changing DNS Setting.
Still i can create subdomain on Cpanel WHM, with hostings, but i don't know how to assign custom DNS setting for each and every sub domain.wht's the best solution for this?

You can sell anything if you own it. In this case though, I think it would be important to have a rock solid contract where you are only selling for the same length term you have the domain. If something happens and you lose the domain, you don't want to be liable for all these subdomains you sold.

I've seen other domains used this way. For instance, check out "us.com". They sell subdomains for their main domain.

As for redirecting the subdomains, it can be done both at the registrar level or the server level. If you are planning to offer the hosting for the subdomains, I would recommend redirecting all (ie - *.xyz.com) to your server and then just configure your web server to handle the various subdomains.

If you are planning on just letting folks point the subdomains to their own server, then you might just want to use the registrar settings/redirect since there is no point in having all their requests go to your server first before going to another server.

Hope this helps.
