Help: nslookup can't find localhost

I'm attempting to setup a 3rd DNS server running solaris 2.7 and BIND 8.2.3

I have/had everything working correctly EXCEPT when I do an "nslookup
localhost" from the command line I get:

# nslookup localhost
Server:  localhost
Address:  127.0.0.1

*** localhost can't find localhost: Non-existent host/domain

I'm attaching my:
named.conf file
bind-load.log file
zone file that loads the 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa zone (named.local)

I have 2 other servers running Solaris 2.7 and BIND 8.2.3.  I've looked and
looked at the configs and I can't figure out my problem.  

In my /etc/hosts file I have

127.0.0.1	localhost

and I can ping localhost and 127.0.0.1 from the command line.
