Sharepoint 2010 reacts very badly to having it's IP address changed. How do I fix it?

I have Sharepoint 2010 set up on a virtual host for prototyping various projects. If I restart the host, the IP changes. Afterwards, SP complains that it can't find it's configuration database. I can't find where it might be storing an IP. To clarify, the URL remains the same - I have a dynamic dns solution in place to handle that. I can't see anything in the web.config files or the database connection strings that would indicate a hardcoded IP.

How can I fix this up in less time than re-installing every time I need to do a project?
