Perhaps a way to do it is reset the consensus for a relay if its IP address moves to a different Autonomous System.
Is rare that dynamic IP causes relays to hop ASs (e.g. possibly SBC/ATT), and list of exceptions could be created for the few cases where it causes trouble.
CYMRU has a dynamic service for looking up AS from IP.

What if an entire IP block (or entire AS) moves ASs?
What if the external dependency on CYMRU allows the entire Tor Network to be "reset" if CYMRU is hacked/broken/incorrect?

That will all not work, IPs are nothing which you can rely on and reset consens if it does change. My home IP jump between to ASs every day on reconnect. My ISP own both AS and with the IPv4 shortage that will get even more crazy the next few years. I'm cleary against reset consens, ban FP or what ever you guys think would be right.
