http://127.0.0.1 in Safari goes to nameserver?

hi-

Not exactly a cocoa question, but I type one of:

http://127.0.0.1
http://localhost
http:///

in the address field of Safari and it goes to our nameserver computer.
is that the correct behavior or is it a bug?

(I'm using a fresh build of 10.2.4 and the newest Safari).

with IE:

http://localhost
http:///

uses the local computer (as I think it should), but

http://127.0.0.1

goes to the nameserver (I don't understand that)

what is up? How do I get it to use the local computer (localhost) all
the time (without knowing the computer's name)?
