If you haven't voted on this already, do it to request a SSH support in SqueezeBox: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2661 If adding the possibility to enter a hostname in the SB settings I think it would also make sense to make it possible to enter a port number. This way it would be

However, I still would like to know if it's somehow possible to use a name instead of a IP address for the slimserver on the SB3. IMHO no. But the SSH client could do this for you. So instead of first trying to resolve a problem you finally won't have, make it secure in the first place ;-).
