Actually all the file systems who do that on Linux (JFS, XFS, reiserfs) have fixed the issue properly server side, by adding a layer that generates stable cookies. You should too.
I've always thought that was a stupid fix. Why not have the clients be smarted and make them responsible for getting a new cookie if the old one is hosed?
For linux, with the dcache, I'm not even sure that this would be all the hard. Persumable Solaris could (does?) do the same?
