Is it possible to redirect a user's folder navigation from IP address to FQDN?

We have some older corporate software with IP address hardcoded (e.g., software checks files on share \192.168.0.100\files) however our newer security software requires users to use the server FQDN for file shares (e.g., \fileserver\files) and this is breaking some of the software reports.

Unfortunately the software is no longer supported so getting the hardcoding updated is not an option.

What I'm trying to find is a way (such as Windows hosts file) to redirect the IP address to the FQDN so software share lookup will function as needed.

Is this possible?
