Why not use vhost_alias_module in Apache and something like the following:
VirtualDocumentRoot /home/www/%-1/%-2/%-3/%-4+
Then have the home directory for the main user be /home/www/au/com/company .
Then the user can login through ftp, create a directory named "www" for
storing the www.company.com.au site, then they could create a directory
"sales" to create the sales.company.com.au site etc. Then the only thing you
need to solve is automatic creation of BIND configuration to match.
Then for the logging you can have the following at the start of the Apache
config:
LogFormat "%V %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-agent}i\" %T"
Which allows you to produce a single log file with coherant information on
all domains. My logtools package has everything you need to split up and
manipulate the log file generated. I can supply some sample scripts (I'll
put them in the next version of logtools) to automatically create webalizer
stats for all domains dynamically.
