When developing with Educates on a local machine, many developers rely on the local DNS resolver functionality to provide their Educates cluster with a meaningful hostname. A common approach is to use a domain like educates.test for consistent local cluster access.

However, laptop users frequently encounter network transitions—moving between office, home, conference, or other network environments. These transitions result in IP address changes that break DNS resolution for the configured hostname. When this occurs, the cluster becomes inaccessible via the expected domain name, requiring manual DNS resolver updates.

This issue can be particularly frustrating when the DNS resolver is running in the background, as the root cause may not be immediately apparent. To address this challenge, I developed an automated solution that monitors IP address changes and updates the DNS resolver configuration accordingly.
