I have a patch that corrects another issue, that might help here too, although it's not a complete solution (yet): with the patch, when reconnecting, syslog-ng
will try to resolve the hostname again if a previous connect failed.

So, if the clients would have the patched syslog-ng, and you changed the IP of the loghost, and shut down syslog-ng on the server, the clients would loose
connection, try to reconnect, fail, then try again, this time resolving the name again, and find the new server.

It's reasonably easy to extend this patch to work as you described, too, but it might have unwanted side-effects, which I want to uncover first.
