OK, so how far did you get? Do you get errors? Do you have any log 
output, debugging output?

What's "dynsite"? I've never heard of it.

As the HOWTO explains, you need to generate the keys, make them 
available to both the nameserver and the update client, and then you 
need to use the key to sign each update that you send from the client to 
the server. Beyond that, the specifics are going to differ depending on 
whether you choose to use TSIG or SIG(0). I can speak with some 
experience on TSIG, since we are using TSIG-signed Dynamic Updates in 
production. For SIG(0), you're on your own...
