Description

This is a screenshot of the current DHCP Server's advanced Dynamic DNS options, as of 2.3.1-p5:

For the Domain key secret, the pfSense system requires this to be a key made with the HMAC-MD5 algorithm.

Not knowing what algorithm is needed here, I was using HMAC-SHA512 for all my DNS keys. After three hours of poking, I realized it needs to be HMAC-MD5, and fixed that issue.

I would suggest putting in the description for "DNS Domain key secret" that this has to be an HMAC-MD5 key. Or, implement related feature request #6621 (https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/6621).
