Hello,

The BIG-IP device hosts configuration sets the Linux /etc/host file, so it should covers your destination on iCall.

To confirm that, you can generate and check this on a stderr file output.

By the way, I think is better to force the entry on curl command to explicit read the destination what you want to reach:

e.g.

sys icall script mytest_script {
    app-service none
    definition {
        exec curl -v --resolve www.mytest.net:80:10.10.10.10 http://www.mytest.net -io /var/tmp/mytest.content --stderr /var/tmp/mytest.out
    }
    description none
    events none
}
