DNS dependencies within webmin/virtualmin

I've been reading the two webmin books and loving it! Hope a VM book is on the way.

I'm having a bit of an argument with my hosting provider, Joyent (whom I think is GREAT), who provides name service for their shared hosting, but not for their dedicated hosting.

This puzzles me because Joyent uses VM for both shared and dedicated hosting, and as I see it, some of the modules would benifit by access to the name services. For example, building sub-domains of the primary domain. But I could easily be missing the point here .. only 60 pages in to the first book!

So my question is: would it help VM if the hosting services using VM provided access to their name servers? If so, how? If not, why?
