To make sought-after domains to connect to servers #688

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am very confused that few server owners use domains to connect to servers.
Most often, players need to enter an IP address to connect to the servers. It brings difficulties to each side. For example, a potential player somewhere found the IP address of a server. But this IP-address is not available for a long time, as the owner of the server changed the equipment. As a result, the player fails to connect, and the server loses him.
There will be no such problems with the domain, since it is enough to change the DNS record and players will start connecting to the new IP after the zone has been updated.
The reason for writing this issue is that in the MTA after adding the server to favorites, the connection to it is carried out by IP, not domain:
2018-11-06_21-12-37
(I found in #advertisements only one working domain of two...)
This leads to the fact that the players who added the server to favorites will no longer be able to connect to the server after changing its IP.
Therefore, almost no one uses domains.
Describe the solution you'd like
After adding the server to your favorites by entering the domain, save it and each time you log on to the server, find out the IP address of the server.

P.S. Sorry for my the best English
