You can add loopback addresses if you need.  For example, I wanted to run an 
internal DNS service to resolve the private addresses in the network.

I created lo0:1 and gave it an address of 127.0.0.2

This is the port I bind tinydns to.  I run a dnscache that redirects local 
domain and private ip reverse lookup requests to 127.0.0.2 (tinydns).

So, if anyone on my network requests an internal machine, it gets the private 
address, otherwise it does a normal external lookup.
