I've enabled it in rc.conf, and run the make-localhost script. Every thing works fine until I have servers that try and do a reverse dns query on localhost and my nameserver reports the host is not found. I have host.conf setup to check /etc/hosts first then bind. Any thoughts on why the FreeBSD default nameserver configuration won't properly reverse localhost?
