Hi Cory,
For question 1, the problem is most likely that Webmin cannot detect that BIND is running because it is looking in the wrong place for the PID file. Try locating the file named.pid on your system, and then clicking on the Module Config link and adjusting the field that contains the PID file.
For question 2, yes Webmin does have a built-in list of the root nameservers. This works OK because they very rarely change, in order to preserve compatability with existing DNS servers. However, Webmin can also download the root zone file via FTP from the authorative source, which is even better..
For question 3, check out one of the books on Webmin, such as my own or Joe's :-)

Subj: [webmin-l] help with bind in webmin

Ok dont know if this is the place to do this at.
I am setting up a BIND server using webmin.
I have put in all the information that is suppose to go in..e.g. the address name, cname, MX all that.
When i click on start server my webmin page refreshes and loads, but it still says start server the button did not change to stop server?
why is this and how do i fix it. (question one)
How do i point my BIND to the main root servers if i click on root zone it gives me the option to re-download root nameservers...Does webmin and BIND know what the IPs of the root servers are automatically without me typing anything in? (question 2)
Is there a great website that walks you through step by step option by option? (question 3)
Thanks for any help
Cory
