Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When an agent loses DNS services it will not work anymore. (Mesh is not or less impacted)

Describe the solution you'd like
when a dns resolution fails it should fallback to the latest known working ip that was replied and probably changes the color of the "connectivity icon" to yellow or else.

could this not be simply accomplished by using a script which updates the hosts file?

yes, but in this case i got the feeling that this is more a global "tactical" issue than a client sided one :)
for exemple the ESET management agent allow to set a list of whole lists of different addresses to access to the console. while my proposal does not go as far as this it is a common industry issue.
