Imho, the 127.0.0.1 should always resolve to "localhost" ...otoh, there is a 'hostname' utility that does the hostname resolution and returns the resolved hostname which results to returning "localhost". I've seen people using different IP from 127/8 range (127.0.1.1) for this to work "correctly". Unluckily there is no IP address nor domain designed to do this kind of things so you just have to play with it and see what works and doesn't cause troubles. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uhlar@xxxxxxxxxxx ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
