That should do it. Or you can even return false in the macro always for
his case - since he will never have a lo device.

However, using these addresses is a BAD BAD idea. A lot of other
machines will be expecting 127.x to mean something speacial. I dont
think you should ask the poster for wages, he will suffer enough with
ARPs etc ;-> 

What is so wrong with RFC198 addresses??
