I wonder if lacolhost.com is just an A record pointing to 127.0.0.1, what would be the use-case to use that instead of just using 127.0.0.1? Is it that some systems require a domain to be used/tested?

lacolhost.com should also resolve to the ipv6 record for localhost.

Being able to test locally while using the full internet name resolution system is a valuable thing as well. Though if this is your use case I wouldn't trust lacolhost: register your own domain.

It doesn't though. Unless I'm missing something obvious, it only has an A record, not a AAAA.
