Even this is still not really correct. What is going to happen is that
connections to 127.0.0.1 are going to appear to be from www and not from
localhost. This can cause confusion if you are troubleshooting a problem
since there are two entries for www. Probably better to either remove the
www entry from 127.0.0.1
Is there a reason for having it there? Is your internet connection a
dialup and you need to be able to find www when offline? If so there is a
better way to do it using a dummy interface.
