Thanks. I think what I have is correct, its just looks different now, because
a plain hometest, shows loopback first, but if you NETSTAT HOME under FLG is my
primary INTERFACE.

Terri,
The HOME is only used for DEVICE/LINK. You specify the "home address-es"
on the interface.
For example
INTERFACE IFPORTCP6
DEFINE IPAQENET6
CHPIDTYPE OSD
PORTNAME PORTA
INTFID 2:2:2:2
* IPADDR FC00:2::2:2:2 *
INTERFACE IFPORTCP6
ADDADDR 2001:DB8::9
The doc also says
*PRIMARYINTERFACE*
*Restriction: The PRIMARYINTERFACE statement applies to IPv4 only.Use the
PRIMARYINTERFACE statement to specify which interface is to be designated as
default localhost for use by the GETHOSTID() function....If the
PRIMARYINTERFACE statement is not specified, then the first address in the HOME
list isdesignated as the default local host. If no HOME statements are defined
in the profile,PRIMARYINTERFACE defaults to the first IPv4 INTERFACE statement
listed in the profile.*
Which sounds like changing the statement to point to your interface should
work. If PRIMARYINTERFACE is not specified it will point to one of your HOME
statements (if any)
