Did a recent VB5 update disable Linux guests with NAT networking from looking up LAN hostnames?

Greetings,

Up until I believe this latest update to VB5 (5.0.22) I was able to have the following configuration:

Host machine: Xubuntu 14.04 x64

Guest machine: Xubuntu 14.04 x64
NAT networking

And could successfully look up hostnames on the host machine's local LAN within the guest.

With VB 5.0.22, I need to shift over to bridged mode networking in order to successfully resolved local LAN hostnames in the guest OS.

Was this due to an intended / unhelpful change? Or is it a new regression defect?

I am thankful,

It would be better if you posted this in the right place . The DEVs don't have time to search the entire site and usually stick to the one that matches the build.
