Are you sure that this key can be used for DDNS updates, too?
I think you need to create one with "dnssec-keygen".

I've got the DDNS key in a file called "dns.keys" which is included
by "named.conf" and "dhcpd.conf". This avoids having to store the key
at two locations. And my key looks like this:

key intranet.zhadum.de {
        algorithm HMAC-MD5.SIG-ALG.REG.INT;
        secret [...];
};

I'm not sure if that means it uses a different algorythm.

	Kind regards
