Hi Ruben,

If you still want to try and get dns working in VirtualBox:

try editing /rc/bin/termrc so that the ip/ipconfig and ndb/dns -r lines
are always executed - comment out the tests above each of these lines.
Reboot the vm after making these changes.

This works well here on an Arch Linux host with Virtualbox 4.2.16 Plan 9
vm configured for bridged networking, Intel Pro/1000 MT Server and DHCP
from a router on a wired lan.
