Unfortunately this is a limitation of Avahi at the moment.. in theory  
we could support lookup on the loopback adapter but that presents a  
few issues specifically you will always see duplicate services (same  
services on 2 interfaces) for local and ethernet.. which can be  
confusing

At the moment this behavior has not been changed.. in theory we can  
change it though.
