If you add a hostname to favorites it saves the ip, not the hostname. If it would save the hostname, and resolve it when used.. that would be great. Each time you have a ip change you have to start all over to get your player base up to par. Also the reason why we use different port numbers for each tf2 game, even if its on different servers. That way you can always just change the ip of the dns entry to another box (and dont have dupe 27015 entry's for instance) imho the best what i can do at the moment.
