Public bug reported:
I expected a reverse lookup of 127.0.0.1 to return localhost, instead it
returned nothing.
```
root:~# dig -x 127.0.0.1
; <<>> DiG 9.16.1-Ubuntu <<>> -x 127.0.0.1
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:

;; WHEN: Tue Aug 03 09:25:20 CDT 2021

```
If I explicitly lookup using 127.0.0.1 instead of the default
127.0.0.53, I do get a record as expected.
```

```
I have an entry in /etc/hosts.
```
root:~# grep 127.0.0.1 /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
```
Looks like unbound which seems to work as expected is running on
127.0.0.1:53, and systemd-resolv which is not working is on
127.0.0.53:53.
```
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1839/unbound
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.53:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1511/systemd-resolv
```
I am running 20.04.2:
```
