Looks like something is seriously askew in your hosts file.  The localhost id 
should always be mapped to 127.0.0.1, not some external DNS name.

Again, it looks like something's wrong with the hosts file.  Might be as simple 
as not having a hosts file, or not having an entry for localhost.

Another possibility is that you may have a webapp deployed that has hard-coded 
the original website address, and did a redirect with it - hard coding like 
that is a very, very bad practice.
