Someone could make a nice service to take care of this. Scrapes some pages from your site, checks the domains of external JS. E-mails you when one is in danger of expiring.
Less critical but the same goes for blog comments, where it seems to be deliberate spammer strategy; switch domains months after making a comment

Sadly, Paul, this is common practice in ad networks.
