I just get the same error msg:
***Can't find server name for address 127.0.0.1 : no nresponse from server
Default server: external.dns.com
Address: <IP of external.dns.com>
>

where external.dns.com is the second nameserver defined in /etc/resolv.conf
after 127.0.0.1

If localhost is a dns cache, should there be the line:
nameserver 127.0.0.1
in /etc/resolv.conf  ????
