Why do you think the ISP knows anything more precise that the information they already give in the IN-ADDR.ARPA name? Let's encode the ZIP Code in the router DNS name ... (well, someone had to suggest using DNS as the universal database solution eventually).

Well that's fun... whenever you see a phone number you can get its
physical location.  Doesn't sound like such a good idea to me,
privacy-wise.
