preup() {
        /sbin/ifconfig dummy0 -arp;
        return 0
        }

config_dummy0=3D( "ipaddress" )

Works for us, need the dummy module / kernel option of course.
Any reason you specifically need an lo interface or are you perhaps just
following old loadbalancer instructions ?

regards,

Ramon
