Comment(by olmari):

 Also actually if I am not mistaken Pidgin doesn't even have to resolve the
 IP from the domain but it can use the domain directly instead of IP. I
 know this way works at least for ICQ, yahoo and XMPP file transfers in
 Trillian, this way also when the IP do change it is "detected"
 automatically as domainname resolves to the new IP.

 I don't put my neck on the line about how it works in trilly, but AFAIK it
 is this way.
