What address is your computer using for its DNS server (in the Network
preferences)? If it is the machine's own IP or 127.0.0.1, this means you
are running DNS services on the machine itself. If this is the case,
please post the contents of /etc/named.conf.
If your machine is using some other machine as its DNS server, can other
machines also using that DNS server properly resolve localhost?
Has localhost resolution ever worked from your machine, or is the
failure a recent thing? If recent, can you recall any changes you made
that closely preceeded the failure?
What symptoms are you noticing on your computer or network that you
believe to be caused by the lack of localhost resolution?
Which sites did you read advice about your problem on? In what way did
the advice only pertain to Mac OS X but not Mac OS X Server?
Cheers
James
