From:
To:
nslookup <vm-hostname> <isolated-network-ip>

fails to connect on the host even though it returns correct ip in VM clients on the isolated network.

This makes access DHCP clients from the host by name difficult since the names do not resolve even when using dnsmasq with a line like (that host dnsmasq works otherwise however, since it's only on loopback):

server=/vmnet/<isolated-network-ip>

I believe it may be related to the change to bind-dynamic.

Daniel
