I would generally agree that the issues are mostly political.
There are various dynamic DNS systems out there, many are now switching
to DNS update protocol from the various UDP based hacks that were out there.
The opportunistic encryption draft
(draft-richardson-ipsec-opportunistic-02.txt)
relies on ability of users' to populate the reverse DNS maps (and
then to secure it with DNSSEC). The major obstucle is the "IPtelcos"/CableCos
who aren't being very retinscent to actually let people being peers rather
than just client-consumers. There is, with dynamic DNS update no reason why
they should not permit people with "always-on" IPs to populate the reverse
DNS.
