| #546 | duplicate | Mac OS X Host: Request Supplemental DNS Resolution Support | ||
| Description |
Mac OS X resolves host names differently than many other operating systems. The DNS resolver is described here: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man5/resolver.5.html See especially the section "SEARCH STRATEGY." Many Mac OS X VPN clients take advantage of this resolver behavior, inserting supplemental DNS servers ahead of the entries in /etc/resolv.conf for specific domains, as described in Apple's reference. However, at present VirtualBox does not provide the ability to guest OSes to resolve these addresses to the correct DNS servers. Although this is an enhancement request, it is also at least borderline "defect" given the way Mac OS X hosts resolve addresses. One solution appears to be to implement a lightweight DNS forwarder as part of VirtualBox, such as dnsmasq. MaraDNS might also provide a useful codebase. |

| #548 | invalid | Problem with bridged network | ||
| Description |
I'm running VirtualBox on Ubuntu Feisty host, WinXP as guest. I'm using a bridged network (I used to use NAT but unfortunately Windows Messenger doesn't get through), with the default settings for Ubuntu as explained on this site. Everything works fine ... except that when I "save" my VirtualBox session (rather than "power off"), my host internet connection is down. Firing the saved VB session up again restores everything back to normal. I really don't know what's happening but my guess is that VirtualBox changes the routing somehow, and then when a session is powered off, the usual host settings are restored. However when a session is saved, perhaps it's not doing that? Anyway, I don't know if this is a bug or there's a workaround. |
