Luke, links in Matterhorn are contained in mediapackage documents (which you'll find embedded in workflows, the search index and other places), which are used to reference tracks, catalogs and attachments. If you started with an IP address rather than a DNS name, you are in a bad situation, especially given the fact that mediapackages end up on the filesystem (working file repository), in databases (workflow) and in solr search indices (search).
Unfortunately, I don't see any way around re-ingesting your content with updated DNS names (other than re-assigning that ip to the relevant machine). Hopefully soon, we'll have an "episode" archive in Matterhorn, that will allow you to do that from within Matterhorn. You know this of course, and I don't want to sound preceptive. Still I need to mention that DNS is there to get around the kind of problems that you describe. Since Matterhorn needs to hand out urls to HTML pages and players running in people's web browsers, there is no way we can get along without either DNS names or IP addresses. In any case, IP addresses should never be handed out to entities that rely on being able to reach your service. The most important settings in that respect are - org.opencastproject.download.url and - org.opencastproject.streaming.url These two urls are written to the search index and thus handed out to your users through the search interface or ATOM/RSS feeds. By default, these two settings are configured to org.opencastproject.server.url, so make sure *at least* these two are set to DNS names that you can adjust easily in case of changes of IP addresses.
