named listens to 127.0.0.1 but not IP address

[Danny Mayer]

	You need more sleep, but then that had nothing to do with the question.

	What's in your resolv.conf? nslookup needs that to find a nameserver.
  Moreover, it tries to the name from the IP address so make sure you have
  reverse zone set up.  Did you do logging and did the log say it was
listening
  on the IP address?
