for some time now, _using_ 127.0.0.1 inside a guest
is no problem at all, it will get remapped to the
first assigned ip, which then will be handled as usual

for this case, which requires a more _consistent_
mapping between 127.0.0.1 and a guest specific IP,
we added the lback remap and hiding features to recent
devel kernels (2.3.0.17+), which basically makes the
mapping undetectable for guest processes ...
