This I second. We have:

$ host localhost.ms.com
localhost.ms.com has address 127.0.0.1

$ host localhost.morganstanley.com
localhost.morganstanley.com has address 127.0.0.1

...

The "localhost IN A 127.0.0.1" entry is standard in every forward zone
we create. An ISP with DHCP customers who end up with the ISP's domain
in the DNS search path, should not publish a non-standard localhost
entry...

This said, customers should generally avoid importing the ISP's DNS search
path via appropriate settings in the DHCP client when possible. For a
solitary machine a search path of "." is about right.
