I don't quite see the problem, you've allready come up with the solution...
I have a simular system for some of my clients....
They have client.dyn-dns.org and I simply have a CNAME record like so:
www.client.com CNAME client.dyn-dns.org
client.com CNAME client.dyn-dns.org
client.com MX client.dyn-dns.org
The record client.dyn-dns.org is an A record to the IP of the server
client.dyn-dns.org A 212.69.xxx.xxx
