virtualbox.org

I have set up User-defined host name resolving per the docs and it does not seem to be working.

Host: MacBook Pro v 10.8.4 Guest: RHEL 6.4

Settings:
$ VBoxManage modifyvm "rhevm" --natdnshostresolver1 on
$ VBoxManage setextradata "rhevm" "VBoxInternal/Devices/e1000/0/LUN#0/Config/HostResolverMappings/googleTest/HostNamePattern" "*.google.*"
$ VBoxManage setextradata "rhevm" "VBoxInternal/Devices/e1000/0/LUN#0/Config/HostResolverMappings/googleTest/HostIP" 127.0.0.1

nslookup output:
# nslookup google dot com
Server: 10.0.2.3
Address: 10.0.2.3#53

Name: google dot com
Address: 74.125.225.193
Name: google dot com
Address: 74.125.225.192
Name: google dot com
Address: 74.125.225.206
Name: google dot com
Address: 74.125.225.200

Server looks correct and the log shows that the assignment was made.

$ cat VBox.log | grep NAT
00:00:00.567356 Driver <string> = "NAT" (cb=4)
00:00:00.684655 NAT: user-defined mapping *.google.*: 127.0.0.1 is registered

Thanks!

Looks like it is working. What exactly are you trying to achieve?

The expected reply should be 127.0.0.1 not the actual DNS entries.

My question remains. What exactly are you trying to achieve?

I want dns to reply with 127.0.0.1 when doing a query for google dot com.

Docs (help guide section 9.12.6.1. User-defined host name resolving) state this can be done with the commads I've outlined above.
