DHCP isn't updating DNS



I'm having trouble getting my DHCPv6 server to update DNS and I'm not sure what I'm missing. From what I can tell I have everything setup and have tried numerous changes to the config file without success. Here is my named.conf.local file. I've tried allowing updates with both the update-policy and allow-update commands as well as through a key and just by IP address, but as far as I can tell the DHCP server isn't even attempting to communicate with the DNS server:

    root@blldns01:~# cat /etc/bind/named.conf.local
    //
    // Do any local configuration here
    //

    // Consider adding the 1918 zones here, if they are not used in your
    // organization
    include "/etc/bind/zones.rfc1918";
    include "/etc/bind/Kddns-aaaa-rrs.+157+11111.private";
    include "/etc/bind/Kddns-ptr-rrs.+157+11111.private";

    key DHCP_UPDATER {
        algorithm HMAC-MD5.SIG-ALG.REG.INT;
        secret "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX==";
    };

    zone "appendata.net" in {
        type master;
        notify yes;
        file "/var/lib/bind/db.appendata.net";
        allow-update { 2620:5:e000:201e::4:1; };
    #    allow-update { key DHCP_UPDATER; };
    #    update-policy {
    #        grant "ddns-aaaa-rrs" self * AAAA TXT DHCID;
    #    };
    };

    zone "0.0.0.e.5.0.0.0.0.2.6.2.IP6.ARPA" in {
        type master;
        notify yes;
        file "/var/lib/bind/db.2620.5.e000";
        allow-update { 2620:5:e000:201e::4:1; };
    #    allow-update { key DHCP_UPDATER; };
    #    update-policy {
    #        grant "ddns-ptr-rrs" self * PTR TXT DHCID;
    #    };
    };

In my dhcpd6.conf file I have my zones specified and have tried including the key file, declaring the key directly in the file, and simply not using the keys and just using IP based authentication. None of it has worked so far. I've also tried using primary and primary6 with the actual IP address in my zone declarations, but this hasn't made any difference:

    #################
    # DDNS SETTINGS #
    #################
    # The ddns-updates-style parameter controls whether or not the server will
    # attempt to do a DNS update when a lease is confirmed. We default to the
    # behavior of the version 2 packages ('none', since DHCP v2 didn't
    # have support for DDNS.)
    ddns-updates        on;
    ddns-update-style    interim;
    allow            client-updates;
    ddns-domainname        "appendata.net.";
    ddns-rev-domainname    "ip6.arpa.";
    do-forward-updates    on;

    # Include keys used to securely communicate with the DNS server.
    include            "/etc/keys/Kddns-aaaa-rrs.+157+11111.private";
    include            "/etc/keys/Kddns-ptr-rrs.+157+11111.private";

    key DHCP_UPDATER {
        algorithm    HMAC-MD5.SIG-ALG.REG.INT;
        secret        "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX==";
    };

    # Configuring zones for ddns-updates.
    zone appendata.net. {
        primary    ns1-int.appendata.net;
    #    primary6    2620:5:e000::a1;
    #    key    DHCP_UPDATER;            # AAAA DNS key for RR's.
    }
    zone 0.0.0.e.5.0.0.0.0.2.6.2.ip6.arpa. {
        primary    ns1-int.appendata.net;
    #    primary6    2620:5:e000::a1;
    #    key    DHCP_UPDATER;            # PTR DNS key for RR's.
    }

I've tried putting various options and declarations in different scopes, but none of it has worked. The DHCP server gives out an IP address just fine, but it doesn't look like it is even trying to update the AAAA and PTR records.

And there is nothing in DNS's logs, even when set to DEBUG. Can anybody see what I'm missing. If I sniff the wire I can see that there isn't any communication between my DHCP and DNS servers, so I don't think its a firewall setting as its not even getting that far.

Thanks,
