9 Interesting idea. However, the host server is running KVM, not VMware.
10 If I am not mistaken, the bug you mentioned is specific to VMware? I
11 also don't have the option to define VM host server settings beyond the
12 choice of network adapter type, as the host is run by a third party.

14 I have included support for both Intel E1000 and VirtIO networking in my
15 Linux kernels, with the hosting company recommending VirtIO. Choosing
16 one over the other does not seem to affect the nameserver timeout
17 problem.
