You are, of course, correct.  I was quickly skimming through the 
dyndns.org web site and found the following:

My IP currently resolves to some name provided by my ISP. Can I change 
that to my dyndns.org host/domain?
No, this is not possible due to the nature of the DNS system and the 
way reverse DNS resolution works. If your IP is static or mostly 
static, you could ask your ISP to change your reverse DNS lookup, but 
there is nothing we can do to change it.

I misinterpreted that to mean that they wouldn't allow you to use the 
service.  I gracefully back out of the statement. :-)
