Re: [linux-vrf-core] First code release

I think this goes along with my uncertainty of how to handle the loopback
interface.  I think there are two ways to think about these: 

1. Each host (no matter how many virtual servers or vrfs) is still a single
host.  It has to have a single identity to prevent from affecting all of
the system software the depends on the hosts identity.

2. The whole point of vrf and virtual servers is to make each server or vrf
completly independent from each other therefore hostname etc should be
contained within the virtual server or vrf.

I'm not sure which way is the correct way yet.  I think that there
is a need and an application for both. *shrug*
