You are missing any way to allow slaves to read the maps, so you might do 
something like:
zone "0.0.10.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "master/0.0.10.in-addr.arpa";
        allow-transfer ( 10.0.0.2; and any other nameserver IP's; );
};

Then in your file:
0.0.10.in-addr.arpa list your addresses even if some are DHCP.
1     IN PTR router.domain.name.
2     IN PTR ns.domain.name.
3     IN PTR DHCP-10-0-0-3.domain.name.

etc . . .
