I tried nslookup on Kiyoshi's machine.
--------------------------------
$ nslookup localhost
Server:  name.server.mydomain
Address:  xxx.xx.xx.xxx : : :
(failed test)
^C

$ nslookup 127.0.0.1
Server:  mail.nagoya2.jrc.or.jp
Address:  172.20.12.11

Name:    localhost
Address:  127.0.0.1

(succesful test)

$
--------------------------------
/etc/resolv.conf
domin mydomain
nameserver xxx.xx.xx.xxx

/etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts:      files dns
ipnodes:    files dns
--------------------------------
Is it necessary to start a DNS server to bind 'localhost' in Kiyoshi's machine?
