Couple things here: The GP describes resolver software, which corresponds to item 6.3.3, not a caching server. This does specify the same behavior. In RFC terminology, "MUST" > "SHOULD" > "MAY", so there is some wiggle room there. 6.3.2 permits Chromium and other apps to hardcode localhost names as such, instead of using a resolver. A very popular vector for adware/malware is to take over the system resolver, or replace the DNS client configuration, so this is one reason Chromium jealously guards 127.0.0.0/8 |
