well, currently it does not. with a diff comited today you can use 127.0.0.1. However, it might be useful to have the blackhole depend on the reachablility of some other ip (the way it currently is). Does anybody use that or knows a use case for that? Otherwise we might just remove that and make it work the way you thought it would.
