Outbound NAT traffic should be easy.  Easy means no specific configuration.  

So in order to understand what is going on, please answer:

1) What does your simh configuration look like?
2) What IP is the VMS machine configured with?
3) How is the VMS machine resolving names? (Try outgoing connections with IP addresses first).
4) What IP address is on the host system raspi's wlan interface?
