loopback is a *link*. it has two sides.
it's not the same as the 127.0.0.1 feature from other unixes.
localhost/127.0.0.1 is not normally used on plan9.
it doesn't make much sense on a distributed and namespaced system.
better use more meaningful unique IPs and hostnames and service names
and then use just those, together with our excellent ndb service to
resolve it all.
