This is because of varnishtest trying to resolve phk.freebsd.dk every
time it is invoked to check if DNS works:
https://github.com/varnishcache/varnish-cache/blob/master/bin/varnishtest/vtc_main.c#L616

We need to either patch varnishtest and hardcode feature_dns, or avoid
running the tests altogether.
