How to change to natdnsproxy instead of natdnshostresolver ?

Post by falcon74 »

Hi,

Facing some weird and inconsistent issues with docker networking or docker name-resolution with it running inside an Alpine Linus guestOS, with Virtualbox deployed on Windows 10 Enterprise host. The name-resolution is erratic, as is the hostname assignment to docker containers. Researching on this subject, I found a pointer to issue which could be somewhat related but reported only MacOS host, but I suspect that similar workaround might be usable on Windows host. The workaround is to use natdnsproxy instead of natdnshostresolver. May I know how and where I could try to make this change ? More importantly, how do I check what is the current setting/selection in this regard on the guest VM. Note that my guestVM has both 'NAT' (not 'NAT Network') and 'Host only' networks.

Thanks in anticipation for any pointers or advice.

cheers,
F
