DNS/NAT not working when host has name server.

Description
I'm using Ubuntu 8.10, and after (accidentally, I might add) installing a nameserver (bind9), DNS does not work when using the NAT adapters in the guest OS. The reason for this is that VirtualBox looks into /etc/resolv.conf to find out what nameserver to use, spies 127.0.0.1 and tries to use that. Which of course will not work given that it's the loopback for the guest OS (Or at least, I assume that's why it will not work).
The fix should be as simple as to check for that specialcase and make the guest use the IP for the host when this happens, yeah?
This isn't a big problem (Or at least won't be, when I figure out how to make my laptop use a real nameserver after removing bind).
