Hi Gary
I'm no expert but I have dyndns working on openSUSE with 9.9 both from
win7 and Linux clients. Maybe strip your config down to just this, then
add the other stuff afterwards if you get it going?

1. Make sure that named is not running chrooted. That was a real gotcha
for me: it's default on openSUSE.
2. for now, chown -R named.named /var/lib/named
3. Use minimum options /etc/named.conf

options {
	directory "/var/lib/named";
	managed-keys-directory "/var/lib/named/dyn";
	notify no;
	tkey-gssapi-keytab "/usr/local/samba/private/dns.keytab";
};
include  "/usr/local/samba/private/named.conf";

Good luck.
Steve
