Is there some way to ifconfig up a dummy ethernet interface, one that
will work like the loopback one (lo0) on FreeBSD?
I'm playing around with a local caching named on a machine that has only
lo0 and a ppp0 interface, and bind always replies with 'for
authoritative replies ... blah blah' when I use host.
I remember that having localhost.my.domain set to 127.0.0.1 and the
reverse, but my (fictitious) hades.hell.gr -> 10.0.0.1 seemed to solve
this problem on linux.
I looked through the LINT file in my sources [cvsuped: 7 Jan 2000], but
could not find anything like that. Is there such a thing, or the time
has come for me to start playing around with my kernel and ethernet
drivers?
A pseudo-ethernet device seems like a nice reason to start panicing my
home PC, but I don't want to repeat other people's work if possible ;)
