So is Webmin/Virtualmin doing the right thing after you make this change?

Do you mean you added the actual <Virtualhost> lines to the template? That
is not needed, as they are added automatically .. in fact, adding them could
cause problems deleting.

You need to add extra records in the BIND zone file format to the 'BIND DNS
records for new domains' field in the template, like

foo   IN    A   ${IP}

These will then be added to the zone file for a new domain, but only 
when it is created.
