You cold configure your server as a root server, with a wildcard record:

* IN A <address of your server>

However, this is poor design, because it will try to poison caches, and 
some caching servers that are running out-of-date software will allow 
themselves to be poisoned.

So you should just write a script that creates a new zone whenever a 
customer registers a parked domain.  You can point all the zones to the 
same zone file, which might look something like:

@ IN SOA ...
  IN NS ns1.yourdomain.com.
  IN NS ns2.yourdomain.com.
  IN A <address of your server>
* IN A <address of your server>
