Bind & Dynamic dns

Hi,
I got no replies about my topic concerning dnsmasq and secondary dns, so I went ahead and installed bind.
Now I can do transfers to a secondary dns-server but I can't get the ip-addresses that the dhcp-server hands out. In other words : dynamic dns does not work, because bind does not allow updates from the dhcp-server, the clause "allow-updates" is missing from the gui.
When I manually add that to the config-file, it still does not work. I didn't find the reason, but in a post from june 2020 someone reported that the journal-file could not be made. But that was for an older version of opnsense. I hoped that recent versions of opnsense would support this.
Am I doing something wrong ? Or is this a known issue ?
Side remark : after doing the manual modification, I can't shutdown opnsense. I have to cut power.
TIA,
Koenraad.

I'm not familiar with these as I do not use them. Have you looked at the syslog to see any message which could point you in the right direction?
You may want to check out these logs to see if anything points to your problems.

also look at the bind log file (assuming it has one)
