...and indeed:

    pyanfar:3276 Z$ dscl . read /Computers/localhost
    dsAttrTypeNative:KerberosFlags: 110
    AppleMetaNodeLocation: /Local/Default
    IPAddress: 127.0.0.1
    IPv6Address: ::1 fe80::1%lo0
    KerberosServices: host afpserver cifs vnc
    RecordName: localhost
    RecordType: dsRecTypeStandard:Computers

(It is *not*, however, in /Hosts.)
