i didn't write the code in question, but i suspect the answer is
basicly who has control of the zone, you or named.  that is: automatic
updates mean that named is modifying the zone content for you, so you
had better not be doing so yourself at the same time.

i suspect you can achieve approximately the effect you seem to be
looking for by creating a dynamic zone for which you then set an acl
that denys all ddns access.  you'd have to freeze/thaw when messing
with zone content yourself, but you'd almost certainly have to do
something like that anyway (see "control", above).
