Sorry, but I just sat behind my desk and checked that one more time (I am not an
expert). It seems like db 'A' file is responsible for translating localhost to
127.0.0.1, but make sure that in your /etc/resolv.conf file you have 'localhost'
declared in 'search' line, next to you machine name, otherwise you will see only
'Name: localhost' line, without 'Address: 127.0.0.1'
hope this time it'll work
