.localhost and .homenet don't have the escape to a different protocol and any error from the DNS will do for those not worried about a clean solution. These namespace are intended to be looked up in the DNS with local content.
Well, maybe. On my computer, and on pretty much every computer running some flavor of Unix or Linux, localhost comes from /etc/hosts and never hits the DNS.
