I'm finding it hard to identify what is your actual concrete problem
at present. Would I be right in saying that it's:
1) resolvconf doesn't put the nameserver IPs that you listed in
/etc/network/interfaces into the /etc/resolv.conf file, so you
have to put them in some other file that resolvconf reads
and
2) Your VM boots with no default route set?
resolvconf seems not useful on a server so the first thing I would
do is remove it and put the nameserver IPs statically in
/etc/resolv.conf.
If after that you are still finding no default route when you boot,
please show us your entire /etc/network/interfaces file.
To avoid formatting errors you could attach it to your email, or put
it in a pastebin and send a link to that.
Cheers,
Andy
