Greetings,
I'm having some difficulty working with anything past 127.0.0.1.
It seems impossible to use (create) any addresses on the "loopback"
past 127.0.0.1.

What evidence do you have for this?  Show your ifconfig commands, etc.


Anything you like.

I use 127/8 addresses all the time without problems.

Yes, I have heard that from several people on the list.

The only reference to lo0 I have is in /etc/defaults/rc.conf:
ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" # default loopback device configuration.
#ifconfig_lo0_alias0="inet 127.0.0.254 netmask 0xffffffff" # Sample alias entry.
#ifconfig_ed0_ipx="ipx 0x00010010"    # Sample IPX address family entry.
#ifconfig_fxp0_name="net0"    # Change interface name from fxp0 to net0.
#ipv4_addrs_fxp0="192.168.0.1/24 192.168.1.1-5/28" # example IPv4 address entry.

Neither server has anything other than this.
The RELENG_6 server acts as everyone else has responded
(including yourself).
But the 7-RC3 server, and 7-B4 server, both provide only 127.0.0.1

Dunno what to think. In my desperation to get this application
running as it did on the RELENG_6 server; I added the following
to /et/rc.conf
ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1       netmask 255.255.255.0"

Killed the BIND, and then ran /etc/netstart
and I discovered I have all the 127's I will ever need.
I then restarted the BIND and the application I'm trying to
get working.

Anyhow. I didn't intend to spam the list with the application
issues. I'm simply trying to discover why the loopback block
isn't functioning the same on my recent 7 installs as it has
always functioned in the past.

I'll be happy to provide any further details/data anyone
might require.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.
