Hi,
i'd like to use my hostnames defined on the hosts file, actually i fill the server name's box with its related ip address, in jitsi's connection tab. Is there a way to tell jitsi to try to locally resolve hostnames before looking on the Internet?

A workaround for some situations: you can override the IP address of the
XMPP server under the 'Connection' tab for the account properties.

Some linux distributions run a local dnsmasq (supervised by
NetworkManager) to cache name resolutions.
Check if you ave one running. If so, try using it.

I had a fast tries on all your solutions: hostaliases is considered obsolete ( http://blog.tremily.us/posts/HOSTALIASES/ ) and the reported example didn't work for me, implementing a dns server is something that actually i can't afford since i need to master a bit some concepts about it .
I found a faster and more obvious solution, I missed that option before and don't know why !
You simply need to enable the follow option "Treat all domain names as absolute" located in jitsi's advanced options -> Dns ->Dns Security and using your local domain in the file /etc/hosts.
That's the easier and cleaner option for most common jitsi's installations .

You may be able to do this by setting the *HOSTALIASES *environment variable.
Hi, thanks both for the reply . Boris , yes that's my actual solution , i wrote it in the message.
