By definition, FCrDNS uses DNS lookups. Unless you're using dnsmasq, the entries in /etc/hosts are ignored during DNS lookups. Unless I'm mistaken, no FCrDNS implementation ever queries /etc/hosts (nor should it). This means FCrDNS will conclude that localhost does not resolve and that 127.0.0.1 has no rDNS (excepting cases where the admins have manually placed such entries into the local DNS).
