Hrmmm... I'm reminded of something else I've seen reported on recently...

I don't know if you've been paying attention, but it's been reported that
among others EBay has been port scanning visitor's devices [0]. Having
localhost.ebay.com could be handy for them in terms of circumventing some
rules on setting of cookies and the execution of scripts. Not saying
that's what they're doing, heaven forbid.

Any domain you visit could have entries in it which point to e.g.
localhost or nonrouting addresses commonly used for gateways, things like
that.

This is not a DNS problem, it's a problem in what commonly used programs
aid and abet in the name of "freedom of commerce" or something.
