I meant only one loopback address for each interface. Sorry...I did not understand your question at first, however I was told that you need a unique loopback address for each interface on your gateway/firewall machine. I have 2 ISA nics which one would require a loopback address of 127.0.0.1 while the other would be 127.1.0.1 and if I had a 3rd nic it would be 127.2.0.1 and so forth. I only wondered if anybody had heard of this as to separate each nic so that each interface responds independantly when called upon by it's ip address. As it stands now (with only one loopback (127.0.0.1)) only one interface responds even when I am pinging the ip address of the second network interface.
