I am configuring Bind 9 to do DDNS on a small group of servers. I am using webmin to start the server and I get the following error.

Failed to start BIND : Starting named: Error in named configuration: /etc/named.conf:25: unknown option 'zone' /etc/named.conf:30: unknown option 'zone' /etc/named.conf:38: unknown option 'zone' /etc/named.conf:46: '}' expected near end of file [FAILED]

this is my named.conf

acl dynamicnet { 192.168.1/24; };

key dynamickey {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret "not shown";
};

options {
directory "/var/named/";
pid-file "/var/run/named/pid";
dump-file "/var/dump/named_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/stats/named.stats";
version "protect yourself";
listen-on { 192.168.1.1; 127.0.0.1; };
};

controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 port 953 allow { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.1.1; };
inet 192.168.1.1 port 953 allow { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.1.1; };
};

zone "cluster.local" {
type hint;
file "dynamicdomain.db";
zone "0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA" {
type master;
file "dynamic/dynamicdomain.rev";
};

zone "cluster.local"
{
notify yes;
type master;
allow-update { key dynamickey; };
file "dynamic/dynamicdomain.db";
};

zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa"
{
notify yes;
type master;
allow-update { key dynamickey; };
file "dynamic/dynamicdomain.rev";
};

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

That worked for the zone issue I was having now I am looking at problems the .rev and db files that where created to support these zones. I guess I am going to have to go buy the book so that I can get this to work. Thanks for all the help.
