Windows DNS Server Setup.

I have two Windows Server 2008 servers that are configured as domain controllers and dns servers.  Each DNS server lists the other as the first DNS server in it's search order, and each has an entry of 127.0.0.1 as the third server in it's search order.

I always thought that a DNS server should list itself as the first DNS server in it's search order.  Finally, is it OK to list it's own IP address as 127.0.0.1 rather than it's actual IP?
