I'm not sure if this necessarily is a jenkins-related question, a Linux-type solution, or just not really possible.
I am trying to automate testing for an application in Jenkins. The application runs in Debian and communicates with another Debian machine in the network, say endpoint.server.com. This is a hard-coded hostname in the application. In actuality, there is not just one endpoint.server.com, but multiple. And typically, the DNS will round-robin through endpoint1.server.com, endpoint2.server.com, endpoint3.server.com, etc. whenever the application runs and queries for the endpoint.server.com resolution. For my Jenkins automation to work, I am looking for a way to override the DNS and specify the hostname for each job/build, for example by running some system command on the Jenkins box or specifying some parameter value.
The typical way I achieve this is manually set the IP for endpoint.server.com in the Jenkins machine's /etc/hosts file to point to, say, endpoint2.server.com's IP address. But if I do this, it would mess up any other jobs I am hoping to run against other endpoints. Is there any way to temporarily fudge host name resolution such that it could be set per session?

"endpoint.server.com is a hard-coded hostname in the application." - that is of course the root of the problem. You want that to be configurable for development and testing
