Stuff put in named.local ends up in cache.mit.edu domain unless it
explicitly sets $ORIGIN or terminates the names with periods.

This works as expected:
1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa.	999999999	IN	PTR	localhost.mit.edu.

[{1}lycus:~]
% hostinfo 127.0.0.1
Desired host:   127.0.0.1
Official name:  LOCALHOST.MIT.EDU
Host address:   127.0.0.1

This doesn't:
1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa.	999999999	IN	PTR	localhost.mit.edu
[{1}lycus:~]
% hostinfo 127.0.0.1
Desired host:   127.0.0.1
Official name:  LOCALHOST.MIT.EDU.CACHE.MIT.EDU
Host address:   127.0.0.1
