Bear in mind that there will be no list of such domain names 
available in advance. As I red it, this is one of those "customer 
wants <something>" situations, and until the customer comes along 
with their request, you have no idea what it will be.

Personally, I'd need a lot of convincing* to use an ISP that couldn't 
offer a fixed address and fixed reverse DNS record(s) to go with it.
* Meaning roughly, there wasn't any other reasonable option.
