Where is the alias for localhost initially stored and to what address does it resolve?

What will be an ideal response?


When you install openSUSE, localhost is automatically set up as an alias in the /etc/hosts file. Localhost resolves to the 127.0. 0. 1 loopback IP address . So instead of using http://localhost, you can enter http://127.0.0.1.
