    Thanks all!
    I found what the problem is. I need to make a key (redhat FC 4 already
    provided one, /etc/rndc.key
    and in /etc/dhcpd.conf:

    server-identifier ns.veda.int;
    authoritative;
    ddns-update-style interim;
    ddns-updates on;

    include "/etc/rndc.key";

    zone localdomain {
      primary 192.168.1.2;
    key rndckey;
    }
    zone 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. {
      primary 192.168.1.2;
    key rndckey;
    }

    So dhcpd will use the key to update dns.
    in named.conf, use the named config applet, add the key to control and
    localdomain.

    Also need to disable SELinux, that sucker is preventing bind to update
    master domain.

    remember to keep watching /var/log/message to debug out any typo (also make
    sure /var/named is owned by named).

    Now I can ping my windows pcs as name.localdomain
    Still can't ping them just as 'name', crap.... When I was using dsl the
    router is acting as a dns name server, and it did a better job than bind :-(
    I know I must have done something not right. It is usually some config
    problem. Once got time I will check the source code, that usually helps
    lol.

    Thanks again.
