DDNS allow-update on forward and reverse maps?

[Tim Maestas]

	A zone is a zone is a zone.  If you want to allow
	your reverse zones to be updated, you need an 
	allow-update statement on your reverse zone, same
	as your forwards.  The default without an allow-update 
	statement is allow-update {none;}
