If the + nameservices is misconfigured/broken or the machine is multi-homed, + the client apps have alot of coding to do to figure out if an inteface + represents a local address or not. On UNIX, this includes + the loopback addr. On NT, the loopback addr is not added + (but may change the impl if others think this useful). + Thanks to Michael MacFaden <mrm@cisco.com> for contributing + this. * ace/Synch[_T]: Changed all the classes so that internal instance variables are now protected rather than private.
