The point I was trying to make is for you to drop the restriction on 
'lo'. As I already pointed out, I could have other "local" devices 
within the 127.x.x.x range, not just 'lo'. I don't mind having to 
shoe-horn virtual devices (lo:X for example) into the same device/zone 
either - that's fine by me, no problem.
