You don't have to enable Dynamic Resource Pools to associate a zone with a pset.
Resource Pools is a standalone feature. Dynamic Resource Pools add dynamic (i.e. goal-satisfying re-configurations) behaviour to Resource Pools. Read what I said about CPU allocation and look at the comments in the code reference that I mailed earlier.
