Hi I know this has been discussed almost to death recently, but I'm still having some troubles getting a working config.. What I am trying to achieve is to get 127.0.0.1 to map to a private loopback ip such as 127.0.1.1 - I'm struggling to find the correct config for this under vserver 2.2.0.6 I guess this requires setting the first interface to 127.0.1.1, ie 0/dev = lo 0/ip = 127.0.1.1 0/prefix = 32 0/name = lo then my real net interface 1/dev = eth0 1/ip = 1.2.3.4 1/prefix = 32 However, this causes lots of networking problems in the guest apparently because my networking doesn't fire up anything like I expect... # route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 10.255.255.1 * 255.255.255.255 UH 2 0 0 eth0 loopback localhost 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo default 10.255.255.1 0.0.0.0 UG 2 0 0 eth0 Host and guest are both gentoo. Not sure how the networking is supposed to work under this scenario though? Can someone please assist with the config here (and explain how to setup networking with multiple devices...) For reference previously I swapped the interfaces above 0 <=> 1 and simply updated all my application configs to explicitly use a network address of 127.0.x.y - however, the above should require less customisation of each vhost if I can just get it to work... I'm using the grsecurity patch so I am stuck on 2.2 for now Thanks Ed W
