VBoxManage CLI Support for configuring DNS server settings of the VirtualBox Host-Only Network adapters

[PhilG]

Currently, when I create a VirtualBox Host-Only Network adapter, the DNS settings are essentially empty. (See VirtualBox Host-Only Network #3 below). For Windows hosts, one would have to manually follow the steps ​described here in order to configure this adapter to point to a DNS server (See VirtualBox Host-Only Network #2).

Functionality should be added to the network provisioning portion of the VBoxManage CLI which facilitates creating a network adapter with a DNS server. Without this functionality, the automatic provisioning of nameservers inside VirtualBox guest machines is not possible.

EDIT: There is nothing in the CLI documentation which indicates this is a planned feature.
