Seriously this is like one of the best ideas ever. You could buy a domain name, like "www.ts-samp.com" (example) link it to a small server. Using sa-mp's software (just like teamspeak's) tell the main sa-mp server (which acts as a virtual DNS) to send every user queries for "www.ts-samp.com" to "255.255.255.255" IP and block all the incoming traffic to the small server so it cannot be ddosed. This could be done by opening a file like settings.ini and writing in "www.ts-samp.com=255.255.255.255" and once you run the software these values are sent to sa-mp. Meanwhile the actual sa-mp server should be hosted on another server with IP "255.255.255.255". Therefore there is NO way to ddos any of the servers.

I guess the only disadvantage is that SA-MP will have to host their own servers that can handle this information and act as a virtual DNS.
