I agree with this.

Right. Also, SORBS goes a bit (too?) further by including the "pool" word in 
RDNS as a dynamic address indicator. This sounds not that correct to me.

(Again) Telecom Italia uses it to mark "address pools" on statically-assigned 
chunks:

 host1-231.pool8175.interbusiness.it.

This means "the host 231.1 in the 81.75 address pool" and, believe me, has 
nothing to do with dynamic addresses: that's statically assigned (uses CLIP, 
too...).
