-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi there,
it seems like many people have the same question over and over again. yes, you can have localhost vi /etc/hosts xx.xx.xx.xx localhost where xx.xx.xx.xx your guest IP you can give 127.0.0.1 to a guest, but then your server shares it with the guest. you can give 127.0.0.x to guests, but they will be able to ping each other anyway. (and I recall that somebody told me this is not a very good approach) let me rephrase you question - do you want an isolated localhost IP address for each guest? Why would you need this? I'm sure it's been discussed many times already, perhaps it will be a part of linux-vserver net-ng, what's the status? my answers on your questions (correct me if I'm wrong): 1) yes, it's possible, see scenario described above 2) yes, pings come from the host server ping 127.0.0.x (x any number) you will receive responses best, - --alex Alejandro Cabrera Obed wrote: > Dear all, I'm new at vservers so I was looking for some information > about the localhost interface problem.
