I don't know why. mod_cosign isn't the problem here, it's the  
resolver. For some reason your central login server believes your IP  
address is in the 172 private space, and the remote IP available to  
mod_cosign (as store in Apache's data structures) when you visit the  
protected service is the loopback address, 127.0.0.1. You shouldn't  
have a problem with an environment that doesn't depend on the loopback  
device.
