OK, what about 127.0.0.1? Given that "dig localhost" returns that,
it *should* behave the same, but obviously something here is not
behaving as expected. Also, after you start it with '*', does
"psql -h localhost" work?
I'm guessing that there is something funny about the way your local
loopback is configured. It might be useful to look at "ifconfig lo".
On a Fedora machine I get
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:621786 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
