"Doesn't resolve" is pretty vague. Are the queries timing out? Are you 
getting "no such host" responses? What do you mean by "doesn't resolve"?

I'm assuming you mean your first "nameserver" line is "nameserver 
127.0.0.1", since "nameserver localhost" wouldn't work.

Another thought: is your nameserver configured to listen on loopback? By 
default it will listen on loopback, but this can be overridden with a 
"listen-on" statement.
