I doubt localhost is going to work for Oracle.
The dummy interface should work, you can even route to it from other interfaces. There is some info on it here: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Virtualization-en-US/ch-virt-laptop-configurations.html . Obviously you only need the part about the dummy interface, you can ignore the part about virtualization.

Re: DHCP Warning in Oracle10g Installation
Hope it's not too late ...
I have used the following process to install an Oracle Application server on a box which had not its real name and IP, it will perhaps work with a DB install
export an environment variable called ORACLE_HOSTNAME before to run setup :
export ORACLE_HOSTNAME=ORACLEBOX or what you want as a name for your computer.
In your host file add a new row with
ORACLEBOX 127.0.0.1
Then run your setup from CLI with this parameter :
setup OUI_HOSTNAME=ORACLEBOX
This ensures that The OUI will use the name given as its hostname, then as this host is defined on your loopback in the /etc/host file it could work.
You will have to check if these parameters exist with a DB setup ...
Best regards,
