They usually do not give their IP adresses with reason. You could of course look those IPs up and enter the address instead of the name, but the nice thing about DNS is that the provider can hook a second machine, with another address, and change the DNS to move the SIP target for all their users. They could also use round-robbing for multiple machines or whatever - features you will not get if you set an ip in your configuration. If you do not see a way to get around it, try setting the IP in the /etc/hosts file. That is ugly, for the reasons mentioned, but it would keep DNS from timing out.
