Subject:   "downed" loopback address still active?

Hi,

I am using an IP on a loopback interface and no matter
if I "down" the interface, the kernel still uses that
address as a valid address, that is, still accepting
traffic to the loopback address etc. Is this a bug?

Thanks for any ideas,
Nikos
