But I'm browsing to an app (my app that I'm building/running/coding) at http://localhost.company.com:8080/help.
Checked cat /private/etc/hosts and it matches /etc/hosts.
So where else can I look for this localhost.company.com redirection?

Found the answer elsewhere. The nslookup tool:
nslookup is a network administration command-line tool available for many computer operating systems for querying the Domain Name System (DNS) to obtain domain name or IP address mapping or for any other specific DNS record.
So, running that for localhost tells me that (I think) localhost.company.com is mapped to everyone's local machine at the DNS level.

You're getting downvoted (not by me, FWIW) because Dani_l and DopeGhoti told you exactly what to look for, and now you're here claiming that you found the answer elsewhere. And because you're just dumping a command and its output, without any explanation.

I answered Dani's question. DopeGhoti didn't tell me how I could check for that -- which appears to be the answer but since they didn't actually create an answer...
