Ok. my /etc/hosts says

127.0.0.1       localhost
etc.....some other machines

so it should be able to understand localhost as 127.0.0.1 as I have

# /etc/nsswitch.conf
blah blah...
hosts:          files dns

Now that line above should tell system to look at files first before trying
to resolve via dns and my name server. But surely would not Apache know that
127.0.0.1 is this machine?
