The same problem was occurring before I added the localhost line, that was
just one of the suggestions Google Groups came up with as to what might help.

OK; I picked 172.17.<foo> using the selector at
http://www.ucam.org/cam-grin/ , which happens to be run by someone I
usually trust to be competent in this respect. RFC1918 seems to say that
anything from 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (ie. 172.16/12 prefix) is valid
as a private address range; have I missed something / is the selector
giving out bogus ranges?

I'm assuming that since I don't recognise what you're talking about, I must
be missing something. Our network is a little complicated (and I freely
admit I'm not the most clueful of DNS admins): we only actually use three
subnets, 172.17.1.x, 172.17.2.x and 172.17.3.x, which was originally the
reason for the hacky netmask.
