I didn't know this. I have explicit declarations in my pool statement:

   zone 17.168.192.in-addr.arpa {
     primary dns1.ldev;
     key gw-ddns;
   }
   zone dhcp.ldev {
     primary dns1.ldev;
     key gw-ddns;
   }

and this seems to work.
Is this due to the use of TSIG keys (are these signed updates)?
