#2718 closed defect (duplicate)
cannot use ipv6 resolvers

Description (last modified by )
When I have my /etc/resolv.conf configured with just IPv6 addresses VirtualBox complains on start up and VBox.log reports:
00:01:46.867 Console: VM runtime error: fatal=false, errorID=NoDNSforNAT message="A Domain Name Server (DNS) for NAT networking could not be determined. Please check your /etc/resolv.conf for <tt>nameserver</tt> entries. Either add one manually (<i>man resolv.conf</i>) or ensure that your host is correctly connected to an ISP. If you ignore this warning the guest will not be able to perform nameserver lookups and it will probably observe delays if trying so

Replying to Hachiman:
IPv6 isn't supported
That's certainly not a stretch to have assumed given the error message.
But why just close the ticket and dismiss the idea? IPv6 is coming and in fact a requirement for new software acquisition in some situations.
Surely this should be kept open as an RFE at least rather than just discarded out of hand.

It isn't related to IPv6 directly it's more related to using Host resolving API which is more likely a duplicate of #4484, where we had discussion about this.
