Hmmm ... well, that makes sense ... in a twisted sort of way. Yet, in another way, it makes no sense. It just seems like the loopback should be a special case, somehow. Is there any accepted way to have 127.0.0.1 resolve while still forcing the machine to forward all other requests? Otherwise, I'll just leave it as it is. Having the loopback not resolve is acceptable if I can keep it relying on its upstream servers for info.
