Yes.

If (localhost) is the top entry in /etc/resolv.conf, then
nslookup will default to querying the local server.

In this case the host is the DNS server as well as the WWW
server, so the command "nslookup - myserver.com"
is relatively equivalent to "nslookup - localhost" or
a default query of the local BIND.

However, no matter how you slice it, I still
can't "find myself."

Thanks Anyway,
Kevin K
