If you are connecting to a loopback-only service, you should connect to it by the name "localhost". If you are connecting to it by hostname, that implies that it's an outward-facing service - one that should be bound to all interfaces by default. Anything else is user / configuration error. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
