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

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?
