Gentlebeings -
        Forgive the intrusion, but I have a DNS question that I think you should
be able to provide a definitive answer on (something I can't get from other
sources). The question is this: should I have an entry such as

localhost       A       127.0.0.1

in a zonefile? This seems to me somewhat silly, but I have seen examples in
various places showing it. Also, I've been told that HP-UX v9 breaks if it isn't
in.

I'm not on the discussion list, so I'd appreciate answers to this address.
Thanking you all in advance ...
