[Vserver] 2.0.2 on 2.6.18 kernel question

2006-10-02 Thread Chuck 
does this now mean guests have a way of using 127.0.0.1 remapped in the system 
rather than through hosts files? so those packages hardcoded with it will 
work?


CONFIG_VSERVER_REMAP_SADDR: 

   
This allows to remap the source IP address of 'local'   
 
connections from 127.0.0.1 to the first assigned guest IP.

yes and no, it means that on connections originating
from inside a network context, a source address of
127.0.0.1 will be remapped to the first assigned guest
IP, which might help with some services, but might also
cause some services (which check for a src ip of
127.0.0.1 explicitly) to fail, thus it is an option
