(1) This is not a resolution problem.  This is an 'nslookup' problem.
If it can't find a reverse lookup for an IP address at that IP address,
it refuses to allow it to initially be a name server.  However, if you
later say "server 127.0.0.1", it should allow this.

(2) Nevertheless, you SHOULD have a reverse DNS file for 127.0.0.1.
