This is a good reason why (and I don't know why more GSPs don't...) use DNS for your servers. All of my TF2 servers run at tf2.packhead.com. L4D at l4d.packhead.com -- they all are CNAME's right now as they all point to the same physical server...
In a few weeks I've got a brand new server coming online and each game will run on their own IP... nobody will have to know, though. I'm setting the TTL for both of those records to be like 5 minutes, and over the next few weeks when the new box comes online, I'll just change the DNS record and viola, people are on the new server. I never advertise the IP for this reason...
