Hi Thomas,
This is indeed not a dnsmasq issue.
It is Virtualbox, turning PTR queries into A queries when the name
server on the host's resolv.conf file is from 127.0.0.0/8 segment.
I'm still investigating why.

Hi Thomas,
Because when I disable dnsmasq from NetworkManager config, and I get the
my regular DNS server into resolv.conf (of my host), the Virtualbox
guests behave normal.
so I thought if the issue occurs with dnsmasq, and doesn't occur without
it, then it's dnsmasq's fault and not Virtualbox (
Public bug reported:
Hello,
For some reason, when trying to resolve a PTR query (host -t PTR 8.8.8.8 for
example) from a VirtualBox guest (Doesn't matter which OS), the resulting query
on the host (Ubuntu 12.10) eth0 on wireshark is an A query for
8.8.8.8.in-addr.arpa, which of course fails.
