Hmm. We have also had Troubles with lo: here trying to run our software
on vservers. Specifically, our software doesn't seem to see it even
though an "ifconfig -a" from inside a vserver shows it. Of course, that
command also shows "eth0:" information, and we can't touch it either.

So far our solution has been to force references to localhost by adding
the vserver's real hostname to the "127.0.0.1" line in the /etc/hosts
file, as:

127.0.0.1             localhost localhost.localdomain realname
realname.realdomain

This ain't perfect, but maybe it will get you over.
