Ok... but unless I missed something there, the zone files you showed were
for "localhost.", not "goid.lan.", which would contain "localhost.goid.lan."

Do you have an entry for "localhost" in goid.lan.zone?

(A better question might be why sendmail is *looking* for localhost.goid.lan
 in the first place, but without knowing how the rest of the network is
 setup...)
