The only possible solution that i can think of atm is to implement this as a small service in django ui application (such as invitations, feedback, vm connection info).

One possible solution:
Have a UI setting showing how the VM name is to be formatted in the UI:
UI_SERVER_HOSTNAME_FORMAT = 'snf-%d.vm.okeanos.grnet.gr'
This is a deployment-specific setting, showing a correspondence between server ID (the %d part, or %(id) if a server dict is to be used against the string), and the DNS entry.
The administrator is responsible for setting up dynamic DNS and choosing the value of this setting correspondingly.
