Exactly... and if the server restarts it get's a new IP adress and the server isn't recognized anymore and everyone who has added the server in favorites get a message saying "The server isn't" available anymore" when they try to connect.

That's the problem.

I suppose that Valve is not going to do anything about this? :-(((
Lots of swedish server Admins would really appriciate this...

Servers are only referenced by and stored as IP addresses. DNS is never used (except when adding a server to favorites, as a convenience you can use a DNS name). You should have your clients use the Servers tab to find your server by name (and use the Europe region to limit the size of the list).
