Just to add to that, you are NOT defining zones as 'attached' to any
specific subnet. If you don't use key-based updates security then you
don't even need any zone definitions (assuming your DNS setup is not
broken) as the DHCP server will use (IIRC) the SOA record to identify
the master to send updates to.
ddns-domainname sets the forward zone used for updates, and as Glenn
says, the defaults should normally work for reverse (PTR) updates.
The zone definitions are only required (in the global scope) to
provide two bits of information : the key, and the server to send
updates do.
As an aside, does the server need to be specified ? Eg, is it
sufficient to have :
zone 1.0.10.in-addr.arpa. {
key <key>;
}
and have dhcpd determine the master automatically ?
