Subject: ssh knownhosts ip vs domain name

I have a machine which has a dynamic ip. I use dyndns.org dynamic DNS
service, so when IP on that machine changes name.dyndns.org points to the
new IP. So when I want to ssh to this box, I do ssh name.dyndns.org.
However ssh doesn't put name.dyndns.org into the known_hosts file, but
rather saves the new ip, which is obivousely not what I want.
Is there any way to force it to check by domain name, not by ip?

(I'm using OpenSSH_2.3.0p1)

thanks
mk
