Re: physical mac address

Sorry if i still want to clarify it....I was thinking that only 127.0.0.1
ever is loopback....now you seem to say that also eth0=192.168.1.2
will be treated as loopback, by the kernel router, when the hostname
is configured to be resolved by this address (for example via /etc/host) ?
So loopback is just 'never reaches the physical interface, never leaves
kernelspace' ? Is this a valid way to express what happens ?
