I'm not sure this is relevant, but I wondered if the KERNCONF syntax "pseudo-device loop [count]" holds like it does for "pseudo-device ppp [count]", to create, say, a "lo1" device, but there's no loop(4) man page like there is a ppp(4) man page. (Anyone want to write a loop(4) man page? I don't.) I only looked at source as far as /sys/net/if_loop.c where it appears to me that multiple "lo" devices are supported. I suppose they would assigned numbers other than "127.0.0.1". To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
