Hi Jim,

Looking at your config files, believe the keys do not match in 
named.conf and dhcpd.conf but maybe they were adjusted for the posting 
to the list. Alan Clegg's link shows creating the key and adding it to 
the files and also some nsupdate examples.


Would want like the following, only with your key in each file, cut and 
paste that key! :-)

~~~ inside dhcpd.conf this ~~~~~

key DHCP_UPDATER {
     algorithm HMAC-MD5;
     secret xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;
};

  ~~~ inside named.conf this ~~~~~

key DHCP_UPDATER {
     algorithm HMAC-MD5;
     secret xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;
};
