This is really a bug in Webmin, but fortunately only a cosmetic one. That 'Show Generated Records' page is my attempt to emulate what BIND does when creating records from a $generate statement, however it doesn't take any previous $origin lines into account. This doesn't actually effect the real records that BIND generates though.. I will see if this can be fixed in a future Webmin release. - Jamie |
