Sure, except that you might defeat the purpose of having a loopback address
by doing this. Say you've got a scenario where you have two routers
connected by three separate connections:
/-\
O---O
\_/
If you specify the next hop of the loopback to be just *one* of the
interfaces on the other router, then the loopback will be inaccessable if
that one interface on the other router goes down. If you're using static
routes, be sure to include all the different paths you can take to get to
the other router - which may be complex enough to warrant just going to RIP
or OSPF. ;-)

Can anyone tell me if you are able to use a loopback address in a static
route. For example
ip route x.x.x.x y.y.y.y 196.8.87.17
x.x.x.x y.y.y.y being the loopback address.
Thanks
Mike
