Also remember that 127.0.0.1 is for localhost to localhost ONLY, AND that many brain-dead apps won't work with it. ( MySQL historically has this problem to one extent or another. ) As such, 127.0.0.2 can be used for the machine name if the machine has no outside network, and these apps will work. ( again, MySQL ) The kernel knows that 127.0.0.X always refers to the machine itself, the dummy network, but beyond that it's up to the app to get it right, and some ( many ) don't. Never assign the machine name to 127.0.0.1. Note that one can assign a couple hundred aliases for the machine name if one had reason, to the localnet address range 127.0.0.2 through 127.0.0.254. example hosts entries... 127.0.0.1 localhost mymachine will have problems. 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.2 mymachine will work just fine. 127.0.0.1 mymachine 127.0.0.2 localhost should work, but I kinda doubt it. -- Cowboy http://cowboy.cwf1.com "Sometimes I simply feel that the whole world is a cigarette and I'm the only ashtray." _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
