Good day to you too, Sure I guess I point a way, so you can start troubleshooting.
1. Check if the VMs can reach the VR. 2. Check if the VMs are really configured to use VR as the DNS server. 3. Change the DNS server to be any other such as 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (just to see if there is nothing blocking the way), the name resolution should work with those servers. 4. Enable the dnsmasq debug, and try to see if something interesting appears in dnsmasq.log.
