You should have an entry for localhost in the inbox.org zone file: localhost IN A 127.0.0.1 and you should consider setting your search path explicitly in /etc/resolv.conf. Alternatively, put 'hosts' before 'bind' in /etc/host.conf and make sure /etc/hosts contains an entry for localhost. You can use /etc/hosts to override other stuff, too; e.g. make ad.doubleclick.net point to a dummy httpd that returns 404 no matter what URL you request.
