FYI - A few versions back when I had this problem I made an entry for 127.0.0.2. Seems only the 127.0.0.1 is blown over by whatever. And, interestingly, any 127.0.0.x will work nicely for local loopback. I doubt it is supposed to be that way, but it is that way. Something to take special note of in IPTables rules, that. Don't deny just 127.0.0.1 from external interfaces. -AEF
