You should train your user to check whatever clues your client provides of
the target, such as "the window title displays: server5.example.org 
[Verified]"

You could also add your own "banner" to the client, by making it show 
something
like
Connecting to server5.example.org
The server is the same I met previously.

As you are the ones making the client software, the options are endless. 
You could
for instance allow showing aliases instead of full domain names.
