This is not an OpenSSL issue. This is an issue with whatever piece of software you are handing that URL to. Probably, the best solution is to give the system some other way to resolve your hostname to its IP address, one that doesn't require DNS. That way, whatever is processing the URL will know that it's supposed to be connecting to the name that is also the certificate's common name.
