You've developed software code using loopback? I assume like my previous question asked...that you only use it to talk between //different// processes sending and receiving on //different// ports right??
Ever use **multiple** addresses in 127.0.0.0/8 block simultaneously??? Is that even possible?
As you've noted, there is an entire /8 that you can use.
I've even gone crazy and allocated 127/8 addresses to other machines in a VLAN. It works, so long as you setup your routing tables properly. The bitch is, /sbin/ip route show table local, that one gets consulted first, always, so local things get addressed before any others...
