I'm > wondering if it takes a while to update the records? I have just set up ddns this week, to correctly update the records, bind will update the zone files, if these are not writable it fails. I don't know the role of the jnl files. I created a directory dynamic/ with owner bind:bind for dynamically updated zone files. I found it a good idea to create separate zones for the dynamic dns and static dns. For example I have for dynamic dns dynamic/1-16-172-dyn.example.com dynamic/1.16.172.in-addr.arpa and for static dns master/example.com master/0.16.172.in-addr.arpa You must create empty zone files for the dynamic dns zones just including the SOA record. If this doesn't help, post the log entry from your messages, and try also running named in foreground to see what happens.
