Can you tell me how you invoke the emulator with the -dns-server option ? Do you have logs of your internal DNS server that shows which exact queries/answers are made/returned ? that would help a lot.
Unfortunately, it's really not easy to debug the issue currently with the emulator. For the record, a later release of the SDK will provide an emulator that is able to dump the ethernet traffic on a file for later analysis with tools like WireShark.
