The system I have written will also let you set up new zones on both the
primary and secondary servers and integrates nicely with our order/invoice
system. Basically, I set up the zone, select the customer's name and the
money comes in to our bank account :-)

The only thing missing is that I have to manually probe the nameserver or
wait until next morning.

Do you know how it does that? I've never used webmin on any of my servers so
I haven't had a chance to look at anything other than the user interface.
