Hello. I am using virtualbox on debian amd64 with windows guest. Host has pdnsd installed and resolv.conf contains a single line with 127.0.0.1.
I have the same problem as Nelson. Wireshark shows that virtualbox sends dns requests to 127.0.1.1 instead of 127.0.0.1. But pdnsd listens to 127.0.0.1 only. Workaround is to change /etc/hosts hostname line from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.1.1. And it starts working. I think there are several questions/problems (not all related to virtualbox): 1. Why virtualbox uses hostname for dns server when nameserver is set to 127.0.0.1 in /etc/resolv.conf? 2. Why debian has hostname mapped to 127.0.1.1 in /etc/hosts if there are services which listen to 127.0.0.1 only (and break)? Sorry if I have misunderstood something and above does not make sense.
