8.2.2-p5, forward & reverse for localhost

Hi,

I'm running bind-8.2.2-p5, (supposedly) configured as cache-only.
My machine (FreeBSD 4.0) generally dials-up & gets a dynamic ip-address.

What do I need to set-up to properly forward & reverse-map localhost?

If I type "host localhost" I get "host not found."
If I type "host 127.0.0.1" (or 127.1) I get "domain pointer
localhost" just as it "should."

For some reason, I'm not "getting" what's in books/doc.  Pointers welcome.

Thanks,

-kc
