Description
There is code in bind_ip configuration which depends on hostname resolution. However, we currently can't define different sets of ip->hostname mappings in tests.
However, it appears there is a glibc environment variable called HOSTALIASES that allows a process to define a filepath to a hosts file, overriding the default of /etc/hosts.
