You should not scp the keytab file anywhere - BIND is only
single-master, and so there is only one server that can update DNS, and
so only one server to put dns.keytab on.

Where did you get that command from?

Don't set the nsupdate command unless you have configured static keys.
(which means a key file you have generated, not the samba-managed
Kerberos keytab)
