The problem is that it looks up not localhost but d.c.b.a.localhost which (unless I enter each manually in /etc/hosts) uses the resolver mechanism, reads by /etc/resolv.conf and asks my DNS server (configured in /etc/resolv.conf) for the answer, who of course doesn't have a clue. mail:~# dig 20.236.158.12.localhost. txt ; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> 20.236.158.12.localhost. txt ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 55075 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;20.236.158.12.localhost.
