So just use

	10		IN      PTR     dyn10.onscreen.zzz.
and
	dyn10		IN	A	192.168.1.10

It is quite common for networking daemons to reject any connections
for which they cannot resolve and verify[1] the remote hostname. 
Anything which provides domain-based access control (e.g. tcpd,
TCP-wrappers (libwrap)) is likely to behave this way.

[1] The domain obtained from the reverse lookup on the client's IP
address must have an A record with that IP address.
