Hi, I have set up Virtualmin on my droplet. It is working, domain is working too. However, Virtualmin suggests various of DNS records I have to add in order to have everything working properly. Now I have to add these records in DO DNS manager, is it possible to let Virtualmin manage this? So instead of setting up DNS in DO, I would like to have this setup in Virtualmin.
Any tutorials on this? Thanks.

Thank you dschreiber, very usefull!
With "“However, Virtualmin suggests various of DNS records I have to add in order to have everything working properly.” I meant that now if I click on DNS in virtualmin for my virtual server, I get ‘We suggest following DNS records’, followed by a serie of DNS records. I (currently) have to setup these records in DO in order to have things work.
About the glue record, is it nessacery that this domain name is a virtualserver in DigitalOcean, and other websites are subservers of this virtual server?
Yes this is! I run Virtualmin myself (including DNS). It may just be your wording (or my interpretation) but what do you mean by “However, Virtualmin suggests various of DNS records I have to add in order to have everything working properly.”?
The main points here (ask if you need more detailed steps):
That is the basics, I can provide more details if you require them just ask :) (Long time Virtualmin server administrator)
One note: if you have multiple domains, you can just set your other domains to use ns1.yourdomain.tld and ns2.yourdomain.tld and then create new virtual servers in Virtualmin. You do not need to setup your own name servers for each domain on your box.
Feel free to email me any questions you might have on Virtualmin if they arise in the future :) (If the OP does email me, I will post generalized/unpersonalized instructions back to this thread so others can benefit (assuming the OP gives the okay)
