It automatically jail itself in Chroot folder when i install directadmin or do i need to manually go and change it?

Whether or not your copy of BIND uses chroot depends entirely on your OS distribution.

Note that DA presumes a non-chrooted environment for BIND as it places the zone files in the /var/named/ directory.

I'll ask DA support to take a look at this thread.

Our default install assumes it's not jailed. If it has become jailed you can undo it with this guide:
http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=128

If you DO want it jailed, you *can* actually do so by modifying the templates around a bit.

1) edit /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf
change:

nameddir=/var/named

to

nameddir=/var/named/chroot/named

restart DA.

2)

cd /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates
cp zone.conf custom
cd custom

edit the ./data/templates/custom/zone.conf file, change:

zone "|DOMAIN|" { type master; file "[b]|PATH|[/b]/|DOMAIN|.db"; };

to

zone "|DOMAIN|" { type master; file "[b]/var/named[/b]/|DOMAIN|.db"; };

That's about it.. and of course, make sure named is chrooted by setting it in /etc/sysconfig/named
ROOTDIR=/var/named
