Hello,

  I have some devices connected to 3 subnets. 2 are
public, and 1 is used for management of these devices.
 I want to prevent any packets from the public subnets
being fowarded to the management subnet. A couple of
people suggest I subnet the 127.x address space to do
this. I tried it and got this error, "sendto: Invalid
argument".
  I suspect this is not supported by Linux and it's
probably not even a legal used of the loopback
addresses. Does anyone know anything about this?

Thanks,
Sherwin
