I'm not convinced that this is the right solution. In fact trying
this solution has not always yielded a positive response. What has
worked, however, is to actually set up a zone for
0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA. and put then put localhost in the zone map.
The mit-named.tgz package for Linux does this now, and it seems to
consistently fix the problem whereas trying to prime the cache with
the PTR record didn't seem to work right.
