It wouldn't be a lookup at all. Perhaps 'localhost' is a bad name,
and 'loopback' would be better. The above would be the only addresses that
would match it, and if IPv6 was not configured in only 127.0.0.1 would
match it.
If people think it's a good idea I can probably have a patch for it in
about 2 days.
