Resolve Guest OS DNS Requests Using etc/hosts

Note: This functionality is available in Parallels Desktop for Mac Pro Edition only.

When a virtual machine operating in the shared networking mode sends a DNS request, the request is now resolved also using the OS X etc/hosts file.

For example, if your OS X etc/hosts file contains the following entry:

1.2.3.5 testh

and you start pinging testh in a virtual machine, the guest OS will check the OS X etc/hosts file first and start pinging 1.2.3.5.
