Uhm... I think that you need to have 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 (or /8) routed via 127.0.0.1 and/or lo0... The *entire* 127.0.0.0/8 subnet is reserver for the loopback-interface, and is supposed to *never* be sent over interfaces which are external to a machine.

On a side note, certain software uses this to have components listen on several IP's in the 127.0.0.0/8 net to use normal socket-io...

Kind regards,
