afaik this isn't possible as it connects through webmin to webmin.
but slave zone is for redundancy and you use everydns so why want a slave zone anyway?
basically my understanding was that I need to create slave zone to host on vps with master on everydns. How do I make vps know that my sites are hosted on this server while master zone is everydns and vice versa?
Sorry still a novice.
everydns is pointing your domains to the IP of your server. Any request is then handled by Apache.
For a domain you register you need to have ns records set by everydns: ns1.everydns.net, ns2.everydns.net, ns3.everydns.net, ns4.everydns.net
In virtualmin there is a module for DynDNS and PowerDNS but Im not sure of EveryDNS. Hopefully Joe/Eric will chime in and explain better then I can. I do know of someone else that is also using EveryDNS successfully, so it is possible.
You can setup Virtualmin to automatically create slave zones (for any provider). I think that's provided by the slavedns plugin. Basically, it just says, "The master will always be ns1.blahblah.com" and Virtualmin will setup a slave zone in BIND to sync to that master.
This assumes, however, that EveryDNS allows you to do zone transfers. I don't know if that's the case.
