Hmm interesting.  In my case however, I'm not using any TSIG, and I do 
have the 'ddns-domainname' defined.  Is this a situation where I need 
ddns-domainname to end in a '.' ?  Or must I use TSIG for DDNS updates 
in 4.2.0?

dhcpd -t -cf dhcpd.conf also shows things are OK here with my config.

Tom -- are you running on RHEL5?
