I set a windows docker container to run some software (abbyy fineprint) that needs to match the docker name (abbydock) with the localhost ip (127.0.0.1).
I'm starting the container with docker run -h abbydock....
What I've done is to add an entry in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts with the following content:
127.0.0.1 abbydock
It worked once, I ping to abbydock and the answer is 127.0.0.1 . The next times the container just ignores any information that I put on the hosts file if that name matches the container hostname, for example a ping will answer the container ip and no the loopback wrong ping answer Anyway, if I set any other hostname to localhost and then ping that any other name the answer will be 127.0.0.1
where or how can i set the wanted information?
c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc>ipconfig /displaydns

A record should be 127.0.0.1, or at least I should get an extra A record
