That's right.

Unfortunately to the best of my knowledge not any reliable way.
As for today you should reinit all your clients when
a server you are using changes its adress. This is going to improve
but the corresponding fix is a hard one and will take time.

At reinit you may want to keep a copy of the old cache contents
and supply it to venus via mklka.

If you are using the current Aetey's Coda client installer ("cocli",
http://www.aetey.se/index.php?Static&pg=CodaInstHowto ), it will
take care of this operation when you reinit with -i flag (but will
not if you use -I).
