Well - my comment about web based configuration systems not presenting
all of the available options applied to Webmin as much as any other
system. I would think that Webmin is probably the best of this breed of

You should be able to do this in Webmin.. why not read the TLDP document
on how to configure DNS and look at the examples in /usr/share/doc/bind*

and then ask here when/if you get stuck.

Apart from some attention to syntax DNS isn't too hard to get going
