It looks like you are not familiar with internet severs. I really don't
want to setup a local or intranet resolver and revese dns lookup server
for localhost.

The host command resolve from resolver not from localhost, as this sever
use public resolvers. See proof below,

root@u: ~ # host localhost
Host localhost not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
root@u: ~ # dig localhost @8.8.8.8 +short
root@u: ~ # nslookup localhost
Server:        8.8.8.8
Address:    8.8.8.8#53

** server can't find localhost: NXDOMAIN

root@u: ~ # ping -t 3 localhost
PING localhost (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.033 ms

 This is because , your server solver or ISP have a DNS and RDNS for
localhost which resolve  fine

Yes, as  I said my resolvers don't have the RDNS / DNS for localhost
