reverse zone dynamic update problem

Notice that your reverse update looks little funky:
>add 1200 IN PTR 20.2.168.192.2.168.192.in-addr.arpa.
ISC 'dhcpd' tries to add the *entire* reverse quad.
Make your dhcpd.conf look like:
...
ddns-domainname "dynamic.mydomain.com.";
ddns-rev-domainname "in-addr.arpa.";
-----------------------^^^^
...
In my case (for my home network of about 15 nodes), all addresses,
dynamic and static, are in the same subnet and so I use:
...
ddns-domainname "dynamic.vance.";
ddns-rev-domainname "dynamic.in-addr.arpa.";
...
Then, in my regular reverse zone I have.
$GENERATE 16-47 $ CNAME $.1.168.192.dynamic.in-addr.arpa.
for my dynamic subnet range.
Also, if you haven't done so already, upgrade to 3b2-pl14
(-pl16 is available, but has a reported memory leak)
and add line:
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;

Subject: reverse zone dynamic update problem
Hello,
I configured Bind9 with 4 zones:
- zone "static.mydomain.com" and the correponding reverse zone
"1.178.192.in-addr.arpa"
- zone "dynamic.mydomain.com" and the correponding reverse zone
"2.178.192.in-addr.arpa"
If I simply use these zones as static zones, all works well:
nslookup station1.static.mydomain.com --> 192.168.1.10
nslookup station2.dynamic.mydomain.com --> 192.168.2.24
nslookup 192.168.1.10 --> station1.static.mydomain.com
nslookup 192.168.2.24 --> station2.dynamic.mydomain.com
Now, I want use ISC DHCP 3b2 and dynamic updates capabilities.
I remove records from zones dynamic.mydomain.com and
2.178.192.in-addr.arpa .
I add "allow-update" directive in named configuration file.
I add "ddns-domainname" and "ddns-rev-domainname" in DHCPD config file.
I connect a DHCP client. I can read in dhcpd logs:
add 1200 IN A guest1.dynamic.mydomain.com. 192.168.2.20: succeed !!!
add 1200 IN PTR 20.2.168.192.2.168.192.in-addr.arpa.
guest1.dynamic.mydomain.com: succeed !!!
I notice that two jnl files were created.
BUT if I try to send queries:
nslookup guest1.dynamic.mydomain.com --> 192.168.2.20
nslookup 192.168.2.20 --> Can't find host !!!
Have anyone the same problem ???
Thanks for your help,
