BUG: VMWARE Network editor DNS settings are ignored by gues VM, even if its set to use VMNAT only

No matter what I set on DNS page of virtual network editor , Guest Machine is always using HOST DNS settings and ignoring custom DNS settings I provide in VMware Virtual Network Editor.

Problem: is that its leaking DNS server IP of HOST machine. I want to use separate DNS for Guest windows 7 machine. OR disable overall DNS lookup in Guest Machine. I also do not want to use HOST-ONLY network .

I tried removing DNS server from GUEST network adopter in windows 7 and its still able to perform DNS lookup from Guest Machine side.
