that's because the emulator can only work with addresses that are supported by a real DNS server.
internal names on your network are probably resolved with the help of a hosts file or specific resolv.conf configuration. the solution is to run a DNS proxy on your machine and use the -dns-server option to use it from the emulator. we may add support for internal addresses in the future, but for now, you'll have to use a proxy to do what you want, or simply use the numerical IP addresses.
