[Solved] Problem Configuring dhcp Server

I am migrating my servers from Ubuntu/Debian to Arch. I am trying to re-create my DHCP server, currently on Ubuntu, in Arch. When I start the server I get the following error:

ct  8 15:36:12 localhost dhcpd: /etc/dhcpd.conf line 210: unknown key rndc.key
Oct  8 15:36:12 localhost dhcpd:         key "rndc.key"

The relevant section of my configuration file is:

include "/etc/bind/rndc.key";

   zone wilkesley.net. {
        primary 192.168.0.47;
        key "rndc.key";

   }

I have tried specifying the full path in the key section, but still get the same error. I am using the dhcp4 server. Any iidea as what I am doing wrong?

Doh! The problem was the file was called rndc.key, but the actual key in the file was called rndc-key. So:

  zone wilkesley.net. {
        primary 192.168.0.47;
        key "rndc-key";

   }

works fine.
