[tlug] localhost problem

[David Eduardo Gomez Noguera <davidgn@example.com>]

Hello. I am having a weird problem, since some time ago, and i havent figured out what is wrong.
Some programs doesnt find out localhost is 127.0.0.1, but somes does.

dnslookup doesnt eventhough a dnslookup to 127.0.0.1 returns localhost.
i.e.

bash-2.05# nslookup 127.0.0.1
Server:  dns1.unam.mx
Address:  132.248.204.1

Name:    localhost
Address:  127.0.0.1

bash-2.05# nslookup localhost
Server:  dns1.unam.mx
Address:  132.248.204.1

*** dns1.unam.mx can't find localhost: Non-existent host/domain


telnet and lynx and ftp and others get it right, but galeon doesnt.
I have just found its something to do with squid (i run squid and use it as a proxy for galeon and others)
anyone knows a way out of this? my PC also has a private ip and hostname.
And is that behaviour of dnslookup correct?
