Maybe :)
Is it really necessary to create synlinks from /var/named to the chroot
directory? Normally when BIND is run in a chroot environment, it will always
look for named.conf and the zone files under /var/named/chroot , meaning that
the files under /var/named are never accessed directly. So Webmin doesn't
bother to create then ..
