This isn't necessarily a problem just w/ the vsphere provider. Juju asks the underlying cloud provider to provision an ip address for an instance, but if the cloud provider doesn't guarantee a static ip address, that address can change on instance reboot.
The solution here might be to give operators a way to set a static ip on an instance, based on knowledge they have about the network, and available ip addresses.
Triaging this bug as medium. We very much want to do this, but it isn't on roadmap for this cycle.
