Anything you like.

Yes, I have heard that from several people on the list.

The only reference to lo0 I have is in /etc/defaults/rc.conf:
ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1"	# default loopback device configuration.
#ifconfig_lo0_alias0="inet 127.0.0.254 netmask 0xffffffff" # Sample 
alias entry.
#ifconfig_ed0_ipx="ipx 0x00010010"	# Sample IPX address family entry.
#ifconfig_fxp0_name="net0"	# Change interface name from fxp0 to net0.
#ipv4_addrs_fxp0="192.168.0.1/24 192.168.1.1-5/28" # example IPv4 
address entry.

Neither server has anything other than this.
The RELENG_6 server acts as everyone else has responded
(including yourself).
But the 7-RC3 server, and 7-B4 server, both provide only 127.0.0.1

Dunno what to think. In my desperation to get this application
running as it did on the RELENG_6 server; I added the following
to /et/rc.conf
ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1	netmask 255.255.255.0"

Killed the BIND, and then ran /etc/netstart
and I discovered I have all the 127's I will ever need.
I then restarted the BIND and the application I'm trying to
get working.

Anyhow. I didn't intend to spam the list with the application
issues. I'm simply trying to discover why the loopback block
isn't functioning the same on my recent 7 installs as it has
always functioned in the past.

I'll be happy to provide any further details/data anyone
might require.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.
