Fallback to IP from Assets when Hostname cant be resolved

I got a few Clients where the DNS is not working properly like 50% of the time. I set up all my connections via Hostname and add the IP in the “Asset” section, is there a way to fall back to that IP when the Hostname cant be resolved after like 10 seconds?

Hello,

The following PowerShell script using the Before Open event should help to achieve your goal.

$myhost = Resolve-DNSName $HOST$
if ($myhost.IPAddress -eq $NULL)
{
    $RDM.Connection.Url = $RDM.connection.MetaInformation.IP
}
$RDM.Save();

Let us know if that helps.

Best regards,
