Unable to resolve localhost

I'm trying to set up a postgresql server on FC2, and it seems that the server
is unable to look up 127.0.0.1. Further investigation shows that dig
is unable to return anything for localhost or a reverse lookup for
127.0.0.1. /etc/hosts has an entry for 127.0.0.1 pointing to
localhost and localhost.localdomain. Am I missing something?
Relevant sections of configuration files follow:
/etc/nsswitch.conf contains this line:
hosts: files dns
/etc/hosts contains:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
I apologize if this has been double posted, it appears that the
initial post didn't take, as I was not yet signed up on the list.
