Sean mentioned this as well.  I'll try it.  If it works, I'll consider
it a bug, since I want my local machines to reverse as not having a
domain qualification; the first entry is supposed to be the cannonical
name, and I want 192.168.1.1 cannonized as "phaeton".  Plus the default
example "localhost" entry does it in this order, too.
