Do a traceroute to an external domain say google.com from guest vm, as you mentioned below, both by commenting out vr ip and not, in resolv.conf, you may see the difference.
"Yes, if I remove or comment out the first nameserver entry for the VR's IP, and only leaving 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, guest VMs will be running fine and will be able to resolve domains properly."

Traceroute packets seems to be dropped, I think it's by default. See result below: # traceroute X.X.X.2 traceroute to X.X.X.2 (X.X.X.2), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets 1 * * * 2 * * * 3 * * * However, I am able to ping, and there is a response when I tried to telnet to port 53. 64 bytes from X.X.X.2: icmp_req=4 ttl=64 time=2.00 ms 64 bytes from X.X.X.2: icmp_req=5 ttl=64 time=0.291 ms 64 bytes from X.X.X.2: icmp_req=6 ttl=64 time=0.384 ms ^C --- X.X.X.2 ping statistics --- 6 packets transmitted, 6 received, 0% packet loss, time 4999ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.270/0.603/2.006/0.628 ms # telnet X.X.X.2 53 Trying X.X.X.2...

Looking forward to your reply, thank you. Cheers.
