I suspect you mean "zone domain1.com".  "domain" is not a valid command.

That's been the case for as long as I've been using nsupdate, at least
five years.  The filename format is what dnssec-keygen outputs when you
ask it to generate a key.

One other thing you need to make sure of is that the client and server
have their clocks synchronised (e.g. with ntp), otherwise the update
will fail.

There's an nsupdate HOWTO here:

and I have a page explaining how to get DHCP3 to do DDNS updates here:
