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,
