Once upon a time, Robert Bonomi <bonomi () mail r-bonomi com> said:
I'll suggest that (a) IF the addresses do migrate among different customers
of the ISP, (b) the addresses handed out are publicly routable, AND (c) the
CPE has to 'authenticate' itself to the head-end, then it is _very_ useful 
*to*the*ISP* to have dynamically-assigned DNS records of the form: 
   cust.{accountid}.{locationid}.ISP.{com/net/TLD}
or something of the sort.

Putting a customer ID in reverse DNS would probably be a violation of
privacy policies.
