I'd make duplicate server(s) using the new IP(s). Post an MOTD in the old server(s) with the IP info change and scale the number of slots in the old server(s) back to only like 5 slots on the old one(s) so people will only get limited access to the old server(s). Change the old server hostname(s) to something like "SERVER MOVED TO NEW IP xx.xx.xx.xx". There are plugins available to redirect and accept the MOTD as well. This may force people to read it.
Just my 2 cents.

This still won't really solve the issue of your players knowing what ip to change to. It would probably be best to use an advertisements-style plugin to notify people on the server of the new ip address. Of course, having both ip addresses pointing to the same game server would make it so that they could update their favorites accordingly and still be able to connect to the server.
