enable the --natdnshostresolver option to work on a "NAT Network" virtual NIC

Post by pdfruth »

As discussed in a recent forum question [*1], the --natdnshostresolver[1-N] option applies only to a VM's virtual NIC attached to a "NAT" network. It doesn't apply to a virtual NIC attached to a "NAT Network" network.

***Suggestion***
Add support to enable the --natdnshostresolver[1-N] option to apply to virtual NIC attached to "NAT Network" as well as "NAT".

In the meantime, please consider adding a footnote in the documentation [*2] alerting users that the --natdnshostresolver[1-N] option applies to only virtual NIC attached to "NAT". It does not apply to virtual NIC attached to "NAT Network".
