Where that would help up is if the ISP's purposefully set up DNS for DHCP and dialup addresses to NOT be correct... and instantly, all those typically zombied addresses would become useless....
Actually, the trend is opposite. More and more ISP's are dynamically updating DNS so that each user has distinct DNS name (for example, cable users more and more often have MAC address of their Ethernet card as DNS name). Something like dynamic DNS. This speeds up resolving of abuse complaints. Give them the DNS name, and they know who it is, they don't need to look into (usually huge) logs to find out who was using particular IP address at particular point in time. It also gives advanced customers a reason to use this ISP instead of the other.
Anyhow, even if ISP's start to set up DNS incorrectly for DHCP and dialup customers, viruses and worms would simply adapt to it. No gain there. And we end up with screwed DNS, resulting in slower response of ISP's to abuse complaints.
