Freeswitch - more particularly, sofia - does not use the standard Linux
libc resolver.

For more insight, see:

https://github.com/signalwire/freeswitch/blob/master/libs/sofia-sip/libsofia-sip-ua/sresolv/sresolv.docs

As far as I know, there is no way to get sresolv to use /etc/hosts. Your
best bet is to run a DNS cache of your own (e.g. dnsmasq) and alias the
desired hostname there, then put that in your DNS query resolution path.
