create a master zone for mydomain.com
add ns1 ns2 and www etc... as A records with your ip- add 2 nameservers records that point to ns1.mydomain... and ns2... and then add 1 mx records that points your domain to your domain and then restart bind.

My first advice, abandon webmin for simple tasks like DNS.
You should probably learn the correct way before letting an automated tool do it for you, makes for better practice.
There are some really nice bind guides out there

a address abc.com that points to the main ip
a address www,(ftp.mail etc).abc.com that also points to ip
a address ns1.abc.com that points to the first name server ip
a address ns2.abc.com that points to the 2nd name server ip
then i add 2 name servers ns1.abc.com and ns2.abc.com in the "name server" record for abc.com.
then i registerd these 2 name servers with my registrar.
am i on the rite path so far?
now my question is: wut do i do to the sites i want to host with these two name servers? do i have to create a masterzone for each domain i want to host? i used apache's virtual server to create the other sites.

thanks for this thread!
now i have successually set up name servers for mydomain.com and its already working.
but my question is: wut do i do with those domains that i want to host using these two name servers? do i need to add a zone file for each domain i want to host? or as soon as i set up the virtual server in apache its already been taken care of?
