I hope you used a domain you registered, or one that can't be registered and thus cause conflicts. Seeing how mydomain.com is registered by dotster, I think that is probably not you. Don't just pick registrable domains, please.

This doesn't work. Use ip addresses.

Probably better to move that into the subnet declaration.

I'd turn all that off until you get dhcp working. After that you can figure out ddns-updates.

Better use an IP address here.

The first thing to fix is your question: You only say "it does not work", but don't say just what exactly doesn't work. The dhcpd can be made to generate logs of what is happening. We need to see the bits pertaining to windows clients trying to obtain leases.

Also, you set your dhcpd to do dns-updates. Since your configuration seems to be rather arbitrary I suspect you might not have a dns setup to allow for that, or even dns setup at all. I would strongly suggest you turn off all dynamic updating first: Setup simple forward and reverse zones first, using a .local, or a domain you actually have registered yourself. Once that works, you can venture into getting ddns working.
