Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX/issues/281

Followed initial setup properly.
I tried basic command and I cannot ping or curl internet (works from docker container though).
I found that it works if I add --net=host (which I don't want to).
I don't have a fancy networking configuration.

Start command:

docker run -it \
    --device /dev/kvm \
    -p 50922:10022 \
    -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
    -e "DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-:0.0}" \

Well in fact it has internet access, just saw the comment about ping not working.
So it can curl http://1.1.1.1, else dns resolution fails.

Found out that QEMU use only first nameserver declared in /etc/resolv.conf, which is a local resolver I have, so that's why it's not working. (see https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/614064/why-dns-stops-resolving-under-qemu-user-networking-when-the-host-roams-to-a-pa)

Have been able to fix it by forcing a dns resolver with --dns=1.1.1.1 for instance.
