This is maybe not what you want: The "allow-update"-statement is used to
allow your secondary (or any other server) to send a DDNS-update to you. Not
for receiving one from you.
For this you need a NS-entry for your new secondary in the zone.

Where comes the = from? The statement should be
allow-update { 1.2.3.4; }
There is no =
