I personally feel that whoever is running the automated tests should make the necessary changes to their environment to resolve any hostname that is needed to run the tests.
I don't have root access to the BSD and AIX systems that I use for testing Net-SNMP. So modifying /etc/resolv.conf or equivalent on these systems is not an option.
From a software development and testing point-of-view I feel that we will eventually get caught in expanding the number of hostnames that will have to be handled by all the hostname resolution utility functions in snmplib/system.c. I haven't had a chance to do a complete analysis of how many each of the *gethostbyname* function variants are used through the net-snmp code base; so, I'm not going to speak as to whether these changes is limited to netsnmp_gethostbyname_v4(), or should be applied elsewhere.
That's not correct. onea.net-snmp.org and twoa.net-snmp.org are the only two that need special handling. If more functions than netsnmp_gethostbyname_v4() would have to recognize these hostnames, we can refactor the host name resolution functions such that only one function needs to know about these special hostnames.
