Problem is here:
https://www.virtualbox.org/browser/vbox/trunk/src/VBox/Devices/Network/slirp/hostres.c?rev=59202#L408

402	    if (   qtype != Type_A
403	        && qtype != Type_CNAME
404	        && qtype != Type_PTR
405	        && qtype != Type_ANY)
406	    {
407	        LogErr(("NAT: hostres: unsupported qtype %d\n", qtype));
408	        return refuse(pData, m, RCode_NotImp);
409	    }


They should return RCode_NXDomain instead of RCode_NotImp. Seems like
they also have more of those invalid use of NotImp.
