[Sorry for the delay, but I want to clear up any remaining misunderstanding]

Your original email said:

And there is nothing about zones in that statement.
To which I responded:

Again, nothing about zones.


When it comes to zones, I agree that 127.0.0.1 should not be used to 
cross zone boundaries (with the exception being Jarrett's TX case).

I hope that clears things up.
