Loopback device and 127.0.0.1address

Hi, Does anyone have an idea why after creating 128 loopack devices and configuring lo127 to 127.0.0.1 (instead of the default lo0) I am experiencing many problems in interprocess communication using sockets? Are lo0 and 127.0.0.1 (INADDR_LOOPBACK) tightly coupled? Thanks, --- Daniel Hilevich mai
