Hi!

Maybe I am having the same problem of this bug.
My guest test machine is Windows (yes, sorry). With this content on my
/etc/resolv.conf (on the host machine), I can resolve DNS names:

# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 192.168.0.1
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220

But if I start pdnsd, my guest machine becomes unable to resolve
names; the new /etc/resolv.conf after staring pdnsd is:

# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 127.0.0.1

Can this problem be related with using the localhost IP as the nameserver?

Thank you very much!

Best regards,
Nelson
