It is not clear to me that "it should work". It's my understanding that 127.0.0.1 and the loopback interface have very specific support in the IP stack. There was a long thread on one of the networking lists a while back where someone was trying to use the 127.0.0.0/8 network for intra-cluster communication. While one might think that "should work", there were major obstacles and I don't believe that the person ever got it working. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Public Key \ https://lists.shorewall.net/teastep.pgp.key
