We've all had those days.  Most of us will have them again.

It's been a while, so I'm relying on memory, a.k.a. lossy media.

    /etc/hosts:
       a.b.c.d	outbound.example.com

Really that simple.  Forward lookup would search names (right hand 
side).  Reverse lookup would search the IPs (left hand side).

Maybe this is somewhat dependent on the stub resolver library on the 
system and / or the system itself.  It's been 5-15 years since I've last 
done this.  It could be very likely that things were quite different 25 
years ago.

There is also a key difference in what you've said vs what I've said. 
You seem to be using DNS specific terminology while I'm using host 
generic name resolution.  The former doesn't support /etc/hosts while 
the latter does.
