Interesting idea. However, the host server is running KVM, not VMware. If I am not mistaken, the bug you mentioned is specific to VMware? I also don't have the option to define VM host server settings beyond the choice of network adapter type, as the host is run by a third party. I have included support for both Intel E1000 and VirtIO networking in my Linux kernels, with the hosting company recommending VirtIO. Choosing one over the other does not seem to affect the nameserver timeout problem. -Ralph
