I will try my best to figure out how to make the program generate a core

If it has no reverse DNS and no MX records, it is a badly configured end-user

For what it's worth, this is my code to detect a likely-looking dynamic

I won't explain how it works; I'll leave that up to the readers. :-)
It catches all host names that have either the IP address or
reversed IP address somehow embedded in them. For

You know, you don't necessarily have to switch ISP's. There are quite
a few virtual hosting companies out there (I don't have any off the top
