Brian, for what i get the guest receives the DNS address of the host. So, if your host uses a IPv6 DNS server it gets passed to the guest. So the guest tries to resolve the names using IPv6, as VBox doesn't support it then you see no name resolution. What you can try doing is to configure the guest to use an IPv4 DNS server and see if this helps.
