I tried to set this up. I installed the SDK on my work laptop. I created a "Phone_IceCreamSandwich" AVD and started it up. When I started the emulator browser, it never completed displaying the default home page. I then stopped the emulator and restarted with a "-http-proxy" setting. When I brought up the browser, it was able to display the default home page. However, when I entered a different public URL in the browser, it just exited the browser app and went back to the home screen. I tried this several times, even with different public URLs, with the same result. I don't know what I would set for a DNS server.
