But in any case if your nameserver doesn't resolve localhost, I'd say you'd better fix your nameserver. See eg, http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2606.html The ".localhost" TLD has traditionally been statically defined in host DNS implementations as having an A record pointing to the loop back IP address and is reserved for such use. Any other use would conflict with widely deployed code which assumes this use. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
