Your best bet is to edit the various scripts to use -name instead of
-sname and then to set the node to eg rabbit at localhost.

You'll need to edit the rabbitmq-multi, rabbitmq-server and rabbitmqctl
shell scripts and replace all occurrences of -sname with -name.

Then you should be able to set the NODENAME variable in
/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf to rabbit at localhost, or set the
RABBITMQ_NODENAME env var.

This way, it should be resistant to IP changes.
