Subject: compatibility issues?

we finally have a need for a true 127.0.0.1 inside a vserver :( 

we are presently running 2.6.20-vs2.2.0-gentoo on this amd64 host with 100+ 
virtual servers running.

according to what i have been reading in this list, i have to upgrade to 
the 'gentoo unstable'  2.3.0.29 or .34 versions to enable true localhost. is 
there any workaround using our existing installation? this particular vserver 
cannot use a remapped localhost to the primary ip. it must be a private 
127.0.0.1.

1. would this upgrade be compatible with existing vservers? i do not wish to 
update every one of them.

2. i am not very happy about putting unstable code on a production machine. is 
this code ready for production yet? if so why has gentoo not unmasked it?
