True...but if "nameserver 127.0.0.1" isn't included in that
resolv.conf file, lookups won't work. Also, even if it is included,
if the connection to the net isn't there, it won't work, either.
In other words, as long as you have a working DNS setup on 127.0.0.1,
and a connection to the net, it should work.
