It only took three years for the frustration to build up sufficiently. :-) Finally I went a little deeper to try to solve the mystery of the 30 second hang time before requests to my Linux guest VM would return. I love doing testing on a Linux guest VM via VirtualBox while working on my Mac, but the occasional slow down (with no load on the VM) drove me to the brink of madness.<\/p>\n
I had assumed for a while that it was some complicated (potentially Mac-related) DNS asshattery. No. It’s the routing table, stupid! I finally noticed that this wasn’t right at all. It only took three years for the frustration to build up sufficiently. :-) Finally I went a little deeper to try to solve the mystery of the 30 second hang time before requests to my Linux guest VM would return.

\nSo after some fiddling, I added this to my \/etc\/rc.local:
\n
\nroute -v add -host 192.168.56.2 gw 192.168.56.1 eth4
\nroute -v del -net 192.168.56.0\/24 gw 0.0.0.0 eth4
\n<\/code>
\nIt is a host-only interface after all. Now the table looks far more sensible.
