[Freeswitch-users] freeswitch not honoring /etc/hosts file

Hello, I have a customer that has a VPN tunnel to my network. I would like this customer to connect to me directly not through the SBC. I have created routing between the Freeswitch box and my registrar server. I have also created the entry in the /etc/hosts file. When I ping the server I get the correct response back. The issue is that Freeswitch is ignoring the /etc/hosts entry and doing its own DNS resolution. How can I tell freeswitch to honor the /etc/hosts file entry first then use DNS? I am running Debian 10 with freeswitch 1.10.2 Thanks,
