Feedback:

using of dnssec-keygen to generate HMAC keys is not possible in the current pfSense bind version:

dnssec-keygen -K /etc/namedb/keys -a HMAC-MD5 -b 128 -n HOST myhost.dyn.example.com.
dnssec-keygen: fatal: unknown algorithm HMAC-MD5

correct command:

tsig-keygen -a hmac-sha512 myhost.dyn.example.com

see https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/commit/21761bfe799c8f298e3ce26285426b9a30473e6d?view=parallel:
The use of dnssec-keygen to generate HMAC keys is
deprecated in favor of tsig-keygen. dnssec-keygen
will print a warning when used for this purpose.
All HMAC algorithms will be removed from
dnssec-keygen in a future release. [RT #42272]
