Question about defining localhost inside of DNS

[Michael Steeves]

I'm working on setting up BIND 9.1.1, and one question I had was if
there's any point to putting the entry for localhost in anywhere.
I've set up the 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa domain, but if I query the
nameserver for 'localhost', it fails at the root level name servers.

Is there any point to defining this?  My sense of completeness wants
to define it *somewhere* in DNS, but I'm not sure if a) this is even a
good idea, and b) if so where to do it.

Any thoughts?
