IF (IF) is trying to get data by hostname, dnsmasq maybe could help. IF (IF) is by ip addres, problem still here.
First he need understand how is working the app or wait to developer.
I prefer lost 2 minutes with grep, that a lot of minutes with dnsmasq AND 2 minutes with grep later..

I'm testing a server and try to simulate a server in production. We have a SSL certificate and I have configured the test server with the same servername as it is in production. To access it, I change the hosts file in my laptop to reach the test server.
I have changed the hosts file and some applications (ping, wget) they get the local IP address. However nslookup and maybe our Java application (I didn´t have the programmer available to debug it) are getting the production server IP
if a application makes a DNS request then it asks DNS and not /etc/hosts - period
yum install dnsmasq man dnsmasq

Could be hardcoded in your java app, by hostname or ip?
learn basics, see above
the application is not interested in /etc/hosts - why? because /etc/hosts doesn't support record types like MX, TXT, SRV, SPF....
