If you are quering bind at 127.0.0.1, bind *must* resolve
1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa. in localhost.
This is done enabling "localhost entry" when configuring bind.

You can use the finder to do for example these things:
o search for packages with a keyword
o search for packages owning the file you're looking for
o browse stable/unstable/non-US sections and see what's in them.
