I've just recently realized something about the "lo" interface. |

You can bind a socket to any 127.0.0.N address, even though only |
| 4 |
127.0.0.1/8 is configured in /etc/config/net, and "ip addr" only shows |
| 5 |
127.0.0.1/8 for that interface. In the past, when I wanted to use |
| 6 |
other 127.0.0.N address, I always added them to /etc/config/net. The |
| 7 |
last time, I forget to do that. Later, I realized it was working |
| 8 |
anyway. I've since removed all of the extra "lo" addresses from |
| 9 |
/etc/config/net, and everything still works. |

Apparently "lo" is special. |

Perhaps I don't even need to have 127.0.0.1/8 listed in |
| 14 |
/etc/config/net... |
