I was wondering if I should leave the default 127.0.0.1 in the list or if I should remove it. I am assuming I should remove it as if it needs to forward a request then it obviously doesn't have the answer. I just thought I would ask, the warning at the beginning of the file leads me to believe there are some things that I may need to do that I may not know about. Thank you, Joshua Lewis
