Both methods appear to work as I hoped.
Ramon: you where exactly right, I was following some documentation sent
over with some load balancers that I am experimenting with. Unfortunatly
their tech staff didn't have any real options for us other than blocking
the arp responses via ebtables. Not sure why I didn't think about using
the dummy interface instead of the loopback...guess its just been that
sort of day for me =)
Thanks again for your help Ramon and RijilV.

preup() {
/sbin/ifconfig dummy0 -arp;
return 0
}
config_dummy0=( "ipaddress" )
Works for us, need the dummy module / kernel option of course.
Any reason you specifically need an lo interface or are you perhaps just
following old loadbalancer instructions ?
