Hello,
worth to clarify that Kamailio doesn't implement a dns resolver from
scratch, it still uses the functions from libc. It only does caching and
try to use cashing records first.
By default, the following dns functions are used internally when the
cache doesn't have the record already -- they are set in the dns_func
structure:
struct dns_func_t dns_func = {
res_init,
res_search,
gethostbyname,
#ifdef HAVE_GETHOSTBYNAME2
gethostbyname2
#else
NULL
#endif
};
So practically by leveraging res_init()/res_search() is relying on
/etc/resolv.conf to do DNS queries, which is not using the /etc/hosts
(iirc). For more see:

Cheers,
Daniel
