Assigning names to loopback 127.0.0.1

[Michael K McKinnon]

Hello,

I am using BIND 8.2.2 P5. Due to the MBLASTER virus that is circulating the
Internet, I want to configure three websites to address 127.0.0.1.

I've attempted to enter the following in my zone file.

localhost               IN    A           127.0.0.1
www.windowsupdate.com   IN    CNAME localhost
windowsupdate.com       IN    CNAME localhost
windowsupdate.microsoft.com   IN    CNAME localhost

When I look up the above three addresses www.windowsupdate.com and
windowsupdate.com both resolve to 127.0.0.1, but
windowsupdate.microsoft.com resolves to its Internet IP addresses.

I also have tried the above configuration using localhost.<domain_name>. ,
but still the same results.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
