The dns_file:

update add wretar.dthink.net 600 A 61.92.242.11

I updated it manually and it worked for me. May network problem?

Code:

[amoners@berners-lee dns]$ nsupdate -k ddns.key
> server 115.231.209.243
> update add wretar.dthink.net 600 A 61.92.242.11
> send
> quit
[amoners@berners-lee dns]$ ping wretar.dthink.net

Figured out the problem. The VM's time is 8 hours behind. Sync the time by ntpdate. It works now. Thanks.
