Today we will learn about loopback addresses that can be reached from the outside via routing. This is useful for running services on a router In a previous post, I talked about the loopback interface and how we can locally bind services to any address in the range 127.0.

Old article I found in my bookmarks. Although I didn’t have the use for it, I thought it was interesting.

    That seems like a terrible idea.

    Why not just assign multiple IPs to eth0 instead? Or create a virtual interface?
