The pertinent parts of my /etc/named.conf look like:

acl "trusted" {
        localhost;
        192.168.0.0/16;
        72.19.169.230;
};

...

zone "local.davenjudy.org" IN {
        type master;
        file "local.davenjudy.org";
        allow-query {
                trusted;
        };
        allow-update {
                trusted;
        };
};

...

zone "168.192.in-addr.arpa" IN {
        type master;
        file "192.168";
        allow-query {
                trusted;
        };
        allow-update {
                trusted;
        };
};

...

You need something like the "allow-update" clauses if you are running 
dhcp and want to have local systems to have their DNS information 
entered by dhcpd.  There was a discussion back a while ago on an 
alternative way of specifying this but that's as much as I remember at 
the moment.

Cheers,
Dave
