--- Re=E7u de VITEUR.BUNTERMA 04 72 96 57 77 30/10/02 09.= 39 I thought that the whole 127 class A was reserved for the loopback and couldn't be used - IIRC.

Hello, I have some devices connected to 3 subnets. 2 are public, and 1 is used for management of these devices. I want to prevent any packets from the public subnets being fowarded to the management subnet. A couple of people suggest I subnet the 127.x address space to do this. I tried it and got this error, "sendto: Invalid argument". I suspect this is not supported by Linux and it's probably not even a legal used of the loopback addresses. Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks, Sherwin =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Best Regards, Sherwin Lu __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
