Sample master.localhost zone file


This file, supplied with the standard distributions (typically called 
localhost.zone in BIND distributions), is a model of brevity and very cryptic! 
Comments have been added to clarify the definitions. This file should not need 
modification.

The master.localhost file maps the name localhost to the local or loopback 
address (127.0.0.1). Localhost is used by many system programs.

$TTL	86400 ; 24 hours could have been written as 24h or 1D
$ORIGIN localhost.
