I have tried adding a line to the hosts file (the way you would on a Mac to do fake DNS for a development site) and this too appears to be ignored completely. The Rails server is running on Ubuntu 14, with all the latest patches, and I even tried rebooting the entire server to get any caches to clear. Dig on the server is able to find the test machine, but Net::HTTP on the same server cannot.

Thanks for the tip. Here's the contents:

# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 8.8.4.4
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 209.244.0.3

I'm going to experiment with adding my EasyDNS hosts to this lookup list.
