I have to agree and recently changed my policies, as it was brought
to my attention that SORBS DUL will list IPs whose reverse DNS
states they are clearly not dynamic, simply because the TTL of the
PTR record is "too low".  If they want that to be their policy then
fine, but it's way too arbitrary for my liking..
