I want to add to my post that it is not advisable to use your primary loopback interface for anything other than localhost. Keep lo0 as is, and use loN interfaces instead. To add new loopback interfaces, in rc.conf add: cloned_interfaces="lo1 lo2 lo3" #etc ...and then, add an 'UP' entry to ifconfig prior to interface use: ifconfig_lo1="UP" ifconfig_lo1="inet ..." ifconfig_lo1_alias0="inet6 ..." # etc. Steve
