Ok, I can see that it isn't the loopback addresses as such that are the
problem, probably more the routing. I can see that the loopback address
is available in all virtual servers and that applications on each
virtual server can bind to ports on that address and that these will not
be accessible from other vservers or the host.

However, this doesn't help if I want to assign real ip addresses to the
loopback address.
