Hi Ruben, If you still want to try and get dns working in VirtualBox:
try editing /rc/bin/termrc so that the ip/ipconfig and ndb/dns -r lines are always executed - comment out the tests above each of these lines. Reboot the vm after making these changes.
This works well here on an Arch Linux host with Virtualbox 4.2.16 Plan 9 vm configured for bridged networking, Intel Pro/1000 MT Server and DHCP from a router on a wired lan.
