This should be done anyway.

This should catch the name "localhost", as it's a plain host name. This line
should make it so that any host name without a dot is not proxied.

This line is bad. It'll make it always return "DIRECT" because the hard-coded
string "localhost" is a plain host name. Get rid of it, and rely on the
previous line (which will catch "localhost" anyway).

I assume this is your locl domain, in which case this line is good.

Change the address to "127.0.0.0", as that's really what the network address
for "localhost" is. The mask (255.0.0.0) is correct.

I suspect that the last semicolon should be a double-quote.
