Hmm. On one system, I had 4 ifcfg-lo files, for the purposes of
setting up virtual hosts for web testing, so each has it's own IP,
and each IP mapped to a host for apache.
On the other system, I had it setup up with a single IP, with apache
dealing with each virtual host via the httpd.conf file.
Which would be better to use?
