Hello,

Recently, I configured a DNS server following the Domain Name System (DNS) guide from the handbook.

In Section 28.7.3.2.2. Zone Files, the example includes a `localhost.example.org.` machine name.  In fact, freebsd.org has this record, as well as the isc.org, among others.  There is an old article about common DNS misconfigurations that can lead to "same-site" scripting that advises against it:

http://seclists.org/bugtraq/2008/Jan/270

Is there a reason why you use/recommend its usage?

Regards,
Jose
