Sorry for the double-post.

I believe this is the code that is causing Virtualbox to behave like this:
https://www.virtualbox.org/browser/vbox/trunk/src/VBox/Devices/Network/slirp/slirp_dns.c#L283

I don't have any idea why it is there, but it says that it's specifically for "modern" Ubuntu releases which have 127.0.1.1 as the name server (Network-Manager-managed dnsmasq...)

Thanks!
Bar.
