This particular issue has been confounding to work around as well. The issue of constantly updating DNS to match the current topology is a pain, but in my opinion, very necessary.
I'm not entirely convinced DNS records for every possible interface address are needed, in part because it's so difficult to keep them updated with topology changes over time. I think the first step is to choose a standard subdomain for infrastructure, like "wan.example.net". The next step (the last step in many companies) is to populate forward and reverse DNS for the "source interface" and managed IP of each device, so you can at least resolve the IP which the router will use when sending traps, NTP, TACACS+ and other requests, and to keep the NMS sane.
