Only if you enable IPv6. ie. you put:
ipv6_enable=3D"YES"
into /etc/rc.conf. That will cause each of your interfaces to have at le=
ast
a link-local IPv6 address configured, and lo0 will get the ::1 address ap=
plied
to it. See /etc/rc.d/ip6addrctl /etc/rc.d/network_ipv6 for the gory deta=
ils.
Cheers,
Matthew
