Incorrect. There is no localhost. zone in the real root zone, and there
is nothing stopping you from creating a localhost zone on your local server:
zone "localhost" { type master; file "master/localhost.db"; };
In localhost.db:
$TTL 1h
@ SOA localhost. hostmaster.example.com. (
42 1d 12h 1w 10m )
; Serial, Refresh, Retry, Expire, Neg. cache TTL
NS localhost.
A 127.0.0.1
