Type and version: KN02ca 7.7M (2 update(s) to same version)
Display type: PMAG-DV
What were you trying to do?
reverse-resolve localhost
What's wrong:
The named goes and looks offsite for the information.
What should have happened:
localhost should reverse-resolve without having to do a lookup
somewhere offsite.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
This patch to named.mit should work; the other possible
solution is to use some variant of localhost.rev, such as
/afs/net/admin/hosts/localhost.rev.
