NO the change does not seem to have any effect.  It still adds this to the bottom of my /usr/local/etc/named.conf file instead of /usr/local/etc/namedb/webin/zones.file

zone "test210.com" {
        type master;
        file "/usr/local/etc/namedb/webmin/pz/test210.com.hosts";
        };

No or yes you are talking about the Edit Server Template page right? On the Edit Server Template page under the section Directive and settings for new websites sections. I have checked off the apache directives below button, and filled in the box with the following content.

# ============ This the ${DOM} virtual host file ==========

ServerName ${DOM}
ServerAlias www.${DOM}
DocumentRoot ${HOME}/public_html
ErrorLog ${HOME}/logs/error_log
CustomLog ${HOME}/logs/access_log common
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ ${HOME}/cgi-bin/
<Directory ${HOME}/public_html>
Options Indexes IncludesNOEXEC FollowSymLinks
allow from all
</Directory>

#       SuexecUserGroup rmvg rmvg
#       <Directory /home/site.com/public_html/cgi >
#               Options +ExecCGI +Indexes
#               AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
#       </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>

        ServerName mail.${DOM}
        ErrorLog ${HOME}/logs/error_log
        CustomLog ${HOME}/logs/access_log common
        Redirect permanent / http://www.canmail.org/

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>

        ServerName logs.${DOM}
        DocumentRoot ${HOME}/public_html/stats
        ErrorLog ${HOME}/logs/error_log
        CustomLog ${HOME}/logs/access_log common

THEREFORE YES I HAVE ADDED SEVERAL <VirtualHost *:80> ENTERIES BUT LET WEBMIN TAKE CARE OF THE TOP AND BOTTOM ONE.  It took me some experementing but i got pretty much the output i want from webmin in vhost.conf file.  However it use my ip address rather than a *:80 here is what webmin adds to the vhost.conf file.

<VirtualHost 68.146.204.152:80>

<VirtualHost *:80>

        ServerName mail.test209.com
        ErrorLog /home/test209.com/logs/error_log
        CustomLog /home/test209.com/logs/access_log common
        Redirect permanent / http://www.canmail.org/

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>

        ServerName logs.test209.com

I added this line to the 'BIND DNS records for new domains'

test     IN A      ${IP}

Here is my newly created zone file the test A record has been added yaaaahah that works too.

$ttl 38400
@       IN      SOA     computerking.ca. root.computerking.ca. (
                        2006033000
                        10800
                        3600
                        604800
                        38400 )
@       IN      NS      computerking.ca.
@       IN      A       68.146.204.152
www     IN      A       68.146.204.152
ftp     IN      A       68.146.204.152
test     IN A      68.146.204.152

In conclusion All i really need solved is having webmin add the zone to the correct file and the * instead of the ipaddress issue in the vhost.conf file.  

Thanks in adavance Jamie
