Directive "resolver" is only used when resolving hosts given by
variables at run time. To resolve hosts during configuration
loading nginx uses normal system resolver as available via
gethostbyname() interface.

If you want to override some name to a particular ip address, use
"upstream" directive, i.e.

upstream test.example.com {
server 10.0.0.1;
}

location / {
proxy_pass http://test.example.com;
}
