As Chris mentioned there is only 1 "loopback" address, not a full /8 anymore. Most very likely you will want these loopbacks, like everything else, to be globally unique. As such ULA (RFC4193) to the rescue, or just take a /64 or something from the address space you get from your ISP/RIR/etc. Greets, Jeroen http://www.sixxs.net/tools/grh/ula/ for a handy generator/registration.
