What netmask are you using for 127.0.0.2? I'd treat it as I would an IP alias (only on localhost) with a /32 netmask, should keep it isolated. Just tried it myself on a test box and iperf works as expected, using 127.0.0.1 as the source when connecting.
I was just looking at that and I used 127.0.0.2 without an explicit mask and the system picked /24. I'm not sure why I did it that way but it's been awhile.
I just got rid of lo2 and made 127.0.0.2/32 an alias on lo0 and it seems to work better all around.
I guess the overlap between 127.0.0.0/8 and 127.0.0.0/24 was problematic. Craig
