You can do it , but then it would only work for this particular machine. When
you want to do it for the whole network, then you use the number known to the
outside world. In below situation we have 206.31.97.147 as a primary
nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf, and since nslookup always check servers in the
order they are listed in /etc/resolv.conf that was the IP number it was looking
for. Just run a simple test: make sure that in your /etc/resolv.conf file your
box number is not listed as a nameserver and start 'nslookup'. You'll see that
starting that, server listed first in your /etc/resolv.conf file will come up
as a 'Default Server'. Now add as a first nameserver 127.0.0.1 and start your
'nslookup' again. This time you'll see:Default Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1
