Yes.  I noticed this too.  Route seems to be trying to query the nameserver
first despite a "lookup files bind" line in resolv.conf, and since the 
nameserver hasn't been started at this point it hangs.  I was planning on
checking out the source code when I got into work tomorrow...

I changed the line so that both the hostname and localhost parts were specified
numerically, and that seemed to fix it.
