FreeBSD root.nis.za 4.4-STABLE FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE #0: Fri Dec  7 14:07:57 SAST 2001     root@root.nis.za:/usr/src/sys/compile/ROOT i386
>Description:
      The reserved 127.0.0.0/8 range is not added to FreeBSD's routing table with destination interface lo0 by default. Instead, only 127.0.0.1/32 is being routed to the loopback interface. Pinging, for example, 127.2.3.4 returns no response - in my case it tries to route via the default route out onto the net!
>How-To-Repeat:
      route -n get 127.2.3.4
>Fix:
      Not sure - thought it'd be a simple update to the rc scripts, but I couldn't find anything relevant in them :).
