127.0.0.1 should still work:
1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa name = localhost
but it depends on the correct DNS file:
/etc/named.conf may be missing these lines:
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "named.local";
};
Make sure named.local is available, different distros put it in different
places. Look for the directory option in /etc/named.conf - you'll need
something like this for 127.0.0.1 to resolve.

I wouldn't think it is necessarily the fault of the Uni DNS - most setups
would assume that the localhost is working.
