hi,

I have 5 guests on the server, each guest has own localhost IP, like
127.0.0.5, 127.0.0.6 etc. (guests /etc/hosts has record like
"127.0.0.5 localhost") it seemed the only option available. can
someone tell me is it good approach? is there anything else beside
this? The reason why I want to have a local IP inside a guest - to be
able to bind services to a local interface that are not accessible
from outside, for example:

one can access IMAP (over ssl) using guest real IP
webmail app can access IMAP service bound to local IP

thanks

Hello,

usually you set in you /etc/hosts file the host 'localhost' to the
public IP of the guest. There is no real need to have a 127.0.0.1
accessible. If you e.g. ping 127.0.0.1 from within a guest, it get
automatically mapped to the public IP of the guest.

If you need a 127-x address within your guest, you may add a 127.0.0.2
etc. to each guest.

HTH,
