Hmm...would have to test this. The only rule I'm aware of is the one to 
allow HTTP connections on port 80, so I think it's unlikely.

Ahem. Yes, I think the question implied in my rambling monologue is "How 
would one specify a URL in a browser or from a script so that the local 
machine doesn't look at it's IP table or whatever and say, 'Hey, that's 
me. I don't have to go over the Internet for this.'"

I suspect there's probably a different way of doing this like disabling 
the local loopback in the network interface but such is beyond me.

Your IP changed and your firewall didn't change its rules to match?

Is there a question in there, or just a statement about things you like
