I am still learning about Linux myself, so if I am wrong please forgive 
my intrusion.  I don't know if this is the answer your looking for but:

I was trying to setup my laptop on a samll home network that I am 
configuring as a learning experience.  When I tried to setup the 
hostname of my laptop it would not distinguish between the two (my IP 
and localhost).  I setup the /etc/hosts file with the proper settings to 
no avail.  Then I tried configuring it with webmin, still to no avail. 
 Then I read a few lines from 'Running Linux ' (O'Reilly) regarding 
hostnames and found that if you add the line:

multi on

to the /etc/host.conf file:

e.g.

order hosts,bind
multi on

it allows for the system to recognise multiple IP Addresses for the one 
host.  This solved my problem instantly.

I know this is different from the problem your having, but you had 
mentioned 'http://localhost', which was the only IP Address my laptop 
would see.  Hopefully this will help in some way.  If I'm way off the 
mark, than sorry I couldn't help.
