Josh, In what way does it "threaten system stability"?

For A views A, though, the client could detect it's connecting to the same IP it's running on -- but with IP forwarding e.g. through an SSH tunnel, it's common to connect to localhost, with the SSH client forwarding the connection through to the server on the other end of the ssh session. So maybe it's not an easy situation to detect.
