    Hello,
    Is there any way for Parallels shared networking interface DNS 'server' to resolve names using multi DNS configuration of OS X host machine?
    I have multiple DNS nameservers specified in /etc/resolver/domain files, but Parallels guests' DNS name resolving is limited only to my host's primary network interface DNS server.

    Hello WitoldO,
    Please reinstall Parallels Tools by following the steps suggested at http://kb.parallels.com/4841 after completing this process, change the networking mode from shared network to Bridge network,go to your virtual machine's Configuration > Hardware > Network and choose Bridged: Default Adapter, Ethernet, or Wi-Fi depending on your needs, refer to http://kb.parallels.com/4948 to learn more.

    Hello Manu,
    I can't get it to work this way and I don't understand how it could work at all either.
    Could you explain how guest OS working with Bridge Networking configuration could leverage host OS X DNS resolver functionality?
    Thank you.
