Oops, 127.0.0.1 does work from chbind for local NFS mounting within a
vserver.

lo Link encap:Local Loopback
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
          RX packets:3302 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:3302 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:493200 (481.6 Kb) TX bytes:493200 (481.6 Kb)

I guess my lo device question was more about other services like postfix
that refuse to start because there appears to be no 127.0.0.1 on the
loopback device. Why is it this way? Is there anything I can do about
it?
