Update of DNS via DHCP

Hi all,
I'm trying to set up a small network where IP Addresses are
provided by a DHCP server and DNS entries are updated
as DHCP give leases for the addresses.
I have set-up the basic configuration....DHCP actually give IP
addresses to the host which are connected but the DNS entries
aren't refreshed.
When I query the DNS for that host I only get the address that is
in the static file (/var/named/mydomain.it)

This is a piece of the core config files:
Hope I can get help !
(By the way I'm using Mandrake 9.0 distribution)
Thanks a lot in advance
Francesco

/etc/named.conf
...............
zone "mydomain.it" {
type master;
file "mydomain.it.db";
allow-update { key DHCP_UPDATER; } ;
};

zone "59.12.10.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "59.12.10.db";
allow-update { key DHCP_UPDATER; } ;
};





/etc/dhcpd.conf

ddns-update-style interim;
subnet 10.12.59.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

option routers 10.12.59.61;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;

option domain-name "mydomain.it";
option nis-domain "mydomain.it";

range dynamic-bootp 10.12.59.2 10.12.59.200;
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;
}

key DHCP_UPDATER {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret
"c3Ryb25nIGVub3VnaCBmb3IgYSBtYW4gYnV0IG1hZGUgZm9yI GEgd29tYW4K";
}

zone mydomain.it. {
primary 127.0.0.1;
key DHCP_UPDATER;
}

zone 59.12.10.in-addr.arpa. {
key DHCP_UPDATER;
}

Hello,
well I checked the permission of files - they were created with root user.
Anyway after "chown" and "chgroup" of all files to named, still I cannot get
zone address refreshed by dhcpd.
I include the debug of named

I can see that there are lines like these:

"Aug 05 22:41:54.381 no journal file, but that's OK
Aug 05 22:41:54.381 zone 59.12.10.in-addr.arpa/IN: journal rollforward
completed
successfully: no journal"

what does it mean "no journal"?

At the moment I tried with only on host connecting to DHCPD. The host "acer"
is registered on
DNS zones as 10.12.59.60 but DHCPD leases 10.12.59.200.
As a matter of fact if I query DNS for 10.12.59.200 I get nothing as result
(it doesn't get updated)
