Whats about to configure $Conf{SshPath} to use a self made script which use 
ssh by IP instead name.

Another (in my point of view much better) way is to configure your clients 
to tell their DNS-names to the DNS service.
In Linux you can reach this by editing /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf or 
/etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf (at least in Debian)
Write there a line 'send host-name "<hostname>";'
