     Me fool. of course it does: the loopback interface has netmask /8
     )defined in RFC 990 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc990
    =20
     But for IPv6 the loopback interface has ::1/128, this ::2 would not got
     there.
    =20
     So if we follow your proposal adding "127.0.0.2 gambrius" to /etc/host=
s,
     we could not contently doe this for IPv6.
    =20
IPv6 is something I'm not really familiar with.  Presumably there is an=20
equivalent way to do this in IPv6 ?
