I just looked at my /etc/host.conf file, for my standalone desktop that
hooks up to the Internet via a modem, and it has the order hosts then
bind, rather than bind then hosts.

Is this bad?

I've never changed it, but have read in the Handbook and Complete FBSD that
bind should be first. The only uncommented line in /etc/hosts is:

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain

I am running named locally.
