Dynamic DNS updates

[Steve]

I am running a DHCP and DNS server on my local home
network. DNS and DHCP work fine. But I setup my DHCP
server to automatically update DNS. And I set my DNS
server to allow automatic updates. But when a machine
connects or gets an IP from my DHCP server, DNS isn't
getting updated. On the server I statically assigned
itself for a primary DNS server. And I am sure my forward
and reverse DNS zones are set to allow dynamic updates.
Anyone know what's going on?

Did you provide a domain name in option 015 in DHCP?
Option 015 is required for DHCP to update the forward lookup zone.
