Bingo - changing it to "*" got it started.  :)

Dig seemed to return "localhost" OK...

me@coolnewserver:~$ dig localhost

Could this possibly be related to IPv6?  I know with this version of 
Ubuntu (10.04), there's a known issue with LightTPD if you include the 
IPv6 library in the configuration file (which is on by default - heh); 
if you comment them out, it works just fine.

Thanks for the help!
