I don't think there is a need for lo interface at all. In my case, I've
added a local class C network to the dummy interface (ie. packets go
though lo). Then there is a public interface with few public IP
addresses. I manage the access to entire thing and one vserver to
another via iptables. I only use private IP addresses because it makes
sense economically - IPv6 will make that choice obsolete.

lo interface only makes sense if you do not want to use a firewall. A
vserver running server without a firewall to control internal traffic is
a bad thing, IMHO.
