Thanks to everyone who responded. 

Regarding the floating IPs, we've declared the whole range in our internal DNS 
with predefined names (in essence, openstack-XX.internal.domain), and I intend 
to map these names to a public domain as well (openstack-XX.public.domain). The 
public names will actually point to a reverse proxy which will the redirect 
traffic to the correct internal address.

I didn't intend to create dynamic records for the floating IP just yet, I was 
planning instead to wait for Designate to mature a bit more.
