I assume that you mean the named.conf on the primary name server since that is
what is expected to receive the updates.  Yes it is all set up to accept
updates from the dhcp server.

--- snip ----

zone "domain.com" in {
  type master;
  file "zones/domain.com";
  allow-transfer { <garbled> };
  allow-query { any; };
  allow-update {
      key machine.domain.com;
  };
  notify yes;
};


--- snip --

there is nothing in the update logs on the bind server side.
the dhcp side is claiming:

---- snip ----

Mar 26 11:42:33 protect1 dhclient: Can't update forward map
protect1.domain.com. to IP.GAR.BL.ED: no such RRset

---- snip ----
