Make sure you have a static route to your loopback interface. Easy
way to do that: edit /etc/sysconfig.
Make sure ``loopback'' appears in ``static_routes''
static_routes="loopback"
Make sure there's a ``route_loopback'' line:
route_loopback="${hostname} localhost"
Make sure ``hostname'' is set as well in /etc/sysconfig.
