@AdamMcCormick did you ever manage to figure out how to do this? I am assuming there will be some (possibly undocumented) registry setting. I'm building a DNS resolver and I'm trying to work out if it's 100% safe for me to hard-code 127.0.0.1/::1 or there is some place I need to check for whether it has been changed. ftr I don't believe it's a good idea to change localhost, because many applications expect to be able to use it interchangeably with 127.0.0.1, e.g. some server application might bind explicitly to the IP address but its client app will use the name.

| Jul 8, 2015 at 16:59 | comment | added | Hennes | Why is not something we can answer. We end users can only guess. MS might have good reason (e.g. performance gains?) but you would need to ask the MS engineers why the resolution of localhost to 127.1 is handled internally. | |
