Where is the line with 127.0.1.1? Debian always provides that.
True, but I've never seen a description of what that does or what its
for.
Interesting. Is there a Debian specification that explains the
127.0.1.1 entry?
<snip>
So I've removed it from every machine here because its out of
scope for 127.0.0.1.
Gene -- by "it", do you mean the 127.0.1.1 entries?
I'm not sure what you mean by scope. 127.0.0.0 is /8 isn't it?
That is my understanding, and what Wikipedia says:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserved_IP_addresses says:
127.0.0.0/8 127.0.0.0–127.255.255.255 16777216 Host Used for
loopback addresses to the local host.[1]
So, both 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.1.1 are in the IPv4 special use address
block 127.0.0.0/8.
