I do not need multiple TCP/IP stacks to do this; only a conventional TCP/IP configuration. Generally, TCP/IP-based protocols such as FTP, HTTP, SSH, ... can communicate with localhost with no special configuration. The discussion here indicates that to use NJE to submit jobs or otherwise communicate with the local host requires some unusual configuration such as multiple instances of JES or multiple instances of NJE. So, I perceive TCP/IP as more tolerant; it has no bias against the local host.
