I think it's host-related. I have a similar setup muself, although I'm
currently running 5.1-BETA (sources as of around midnight 28/05/03
GMT-3). If I try `host localhost`, I get Host not found, too. But if I
try `host localhost.`, it finds that host fine. Have you tried `host
localhost.noonlights.net.` or even `host localhost.`? I think it might
be because host forces the inclusion of its domainname at the end of
the argument if it's not dot-ended.
The rest of the output you pasted suggests that I'm right about this,
and thus it _is_ a host's fault. I agree that we should fix our base
code, but I support the idea of reporting that to ISC, so they can
merge the changes to their codebase instead.
